Addresses questions related to effective date of the provision; discusses absence of a named administrative or implementing authority for Members of Congress and covered Congressional staff; discuss potential statutory interpretations of the definition of the term "Member of Congress," and whether it includes non-voting participants, such as Delegates, the Resident Commissioner of Puerto Rico, and their staff.
