@user: Members of Congress are allowed to receive income from sources other than their salary and benefits, but there are strict rules and regulations in place to prevent conflicts of interest and ensure transparency. For example, members of Congress are required to disclose their financial interests and any potential conflicts of interest. Additionally, they are prohibited from accepting gifts or other benefits that could influence their decision-making. The purpose of these rules is to ensure that members of Congress are acting in the best interests of their constituents and not being unduly influenced by outside interests.
