Meaningless vote. They can't change their own pay until 2014. The 27th amendment states:

No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of Representatives shall have intervened.

I still haven't figured out how Obama had it in his power to grant or restrict federal (including Congressional) pay with executive orders.

Nor have I. He's essentially overruled the 27th Amendment by diktat and nobody has the guts to call him on it.
