4 CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Con-
sent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place
than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

SECTION 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compen-
sation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the
Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason,
Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their
Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and
returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House,
they shall not be questioned in any other place.

No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was
elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United
States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall
have been increased during such time; and no Person holding any Office
under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his
Continuance in Office.

SECTION 1. All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House
of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amend-
ments as on other Bills.

Every Bill which shall have passed the House of Representatives and the
Senate, shall before it become a Law, be presented to the President of the
United States; If he approve he shall sign it, but if not he shall return it,
with his Objections to that House in which it shall have originated, who
shall enter the Objections at large on their Journal, and proceed to recon-
sider it. If after such Reconsideration two thirds of that House shall agree
to pass the Bill, it shall be sent, together with the Objections, to the other
House, by which it shall likewise be reconsidered, and if approved by two
thirds of that House, it shall become a Law. But in all such Cases the Votes
of both Houses shall be determined by Yeas and Nays, and the Names of
'the Persons voting for and against the Bill shall be entered on the Journal
of each House respectively. If any Bill shall not be returned by the Presi-
dent within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been pre-
sented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like manner as if he had signed
it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which
Case it shall not be a Law.

Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the
Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a ques-
tion of Adjournment) shall be presented to the President of the United
States; and before the Same shall take Effect, shall be approved by him,
or being disapproved by him, shall be passed by two thirds of the Senate
and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations
prescribed in the Case of a Bill.

SECTION 8. The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes,
Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common
