It depends. In the U.S., in many states and under most circumstances, employment is "at will." If the employer decides that the salary is too high, they could offer to pay you a reduced salary. You of course don't have to accept the new salary, and you can resign. There are exceptions.
Contact a lawyer in your area for more details.

The reality is that if verbal promises were legally binding, Capital Hill would be converted into a federal prison.

Nope, how can you prove it?
There is a lot of bait-and-switch, people being hired thinking they would get a certain position, only to be placed somewhere else with less pay. Unless its in writing you can't seek any sort of follow up from the employer because they can just brush it off. So make sure its in writing.

It can be argued that it would be a verbal contract. However, good luck getting that to hold up in court. Any more, if it isn't in writing, then it never existed.
If it ends up in court, it will simply be a matter of your word against theirs.

Only if you have a witness to the verbal offer.
