So this is saying that a Senator can't vote to raise the pay for an office, and then take that office until their term is expired?

If so, then Clinton would not be eligible until her normal term is over, and resigning mid-term is not good enough?

Except that this particular pay raise was an executive order from President Bush. There was no vote.
