The proposal can only be adopted if there is creation of bill to address such.

According to the 17th Amendment, its states that Senators must be elected by a direct vote of those he/she want to represent.

  • In this question, the citizen that the Senator wants to represent is the citizen of the Northeastern states, he is not to represent the other senators.

  • The other senators representing other location have no power to influence the election of this senator, rather, the citizen who will vote for him does.

In conclusion, before any immediate 8% salary increase can be effected for the other senators in the House, a bill must be created, passed and assented to by the executive in the Senate house.
