6. George H.W. Bush
in 1992, the 27th amendment was ratified. This amendment limited Congress' ability to give themselves a pay raise.

I believe it was first proposed under Madison and took this long to be fully ratified.

13. God, it took them two centuries
to bar themselves from getting pay raises during election cycles or something to that effect. Imagine how long it would take for an amendment banning corporate personhood. I'm betting on the late 23rd century.

14. I knew it had to do with Congressional pay raises...
but I couldn't remember if it was ratified under Poppy or Clinton. I was in junior high at the time...
