I have no clue how easy it will be for the US Treasury to continue sending paychecks to members of the Senate no longer elected. And same with the entire House. Will it just be a matter of an Executive Order by Trump to continue to pay them. And to allow them to serve unconstitutionally?

Yes, you are right. They can just decide to do it I suppose.
