部分。2。	Section. 2.
眾議院應由數個州人民每兩年選出的議員組成，每個州的選舉人應具有州議會多數分院的選舉人所需要的資格。	The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
任何人均不得成為未滿25 歲，並已成為美國公民7歲的代表，當選時不得成為應被選為該國的居民的代表。 。	No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
代表稅和直接稅應根據其各自的人數在本聯盟可能包括的幾個國家之間進行分配，具體人數應通過將自由人總數（包括有義務服務年限的自由人）加在一起得出，不包括未納稅的印第安人，佔所有其他人的五分之三。實際人口調查，應在三年內，美國國會第一次會議後進行，10年以後的每一次期限內，在這樣的精氣神，因為他們通過法律來引導。代表人數不得超過每三萬個，但每個州至少應有一名代表；在進行上述人口統計應作出，新罕布什爾州有權選舉該院三人，麻薩諸塞八，羅得島及普羅維登斯墾殖區一人，康涅狄格五，新州六人，新澤西四人，賓夕法尼亞八人，特拉華一人，馬里蘭六，弗吉尼亞州十，北卡羅來納州五，南卡羅來納州五和喬治亞州三。	Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.
當任何國家的代表處出現空缺時，其執行機關應簽發選舉令以填補這些空缺。	When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies.
眾議院應選舉其議長和其他官員；並具有唯一的彈Power權。	The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

在第一次選舉中將它們組裝後，應立即將它們分成三等份。第一類參議員的席位應在第二年屆滿之時，第二類參議員的第四年屆滿之時，第三類參議員的第六年屆滿之時騰出，以便三分之一每兩年選一次；如果空缺是通過辭職而發生的，或者在任何國家的立法機關休會期間發生的，則其行政人員可以臨時任命，直到下次立法機關會議為止，然後由該空缺填補。	Immediately after they shall be assembled in Consequence of the first Election, they shall be divided as equally as may be into three Classes. The Seats of the Senators of the first Class shall be vacated at the Expiration of the second Year, of the second Class at the Expiration of the fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.
任何人均不得成為參議員，其未滿三十歲，不得成為美國公民九歲，並且當選時不得成為被選為該國的居民。	No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
美國副總統應擔任參議院總統，但除非兩票均分，否則不得投票。	The Vice President of the United States shall be President of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided.
參議院應選舉該院的其他官員，也一個臨時總統，副總統的缺席，或當他行使美國總統的辦公室。	The Senate shall chuse their other Officers, and also a President pro tempore, in the Absence of the Vice President, or when he shall exercise the Office of President of the United States.
參議院擁有審判所有彈Imp的唯一權力。為該目的而坐時，他們應宣誓或立誓。當美國總統受審時，將由首席大法官主持：未經出席的三分之二議員同意，任何人均不得被定罪。	The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
彈Imp案件的判決不得超出免職，取消資格並享有在美國享有的任何榮譽，信託或利益職務的資格：但是，被定罪的一方應承擔責任，並應受起訴，審判和判決根據法律，普尼對此表示震驚。	Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

部分。5，	Section. 5.
每個眾議院均應是其本國議員的選舉，回歸和資格的法官，並且每個眾議院的多數應構成開展業務的法定人數；但較小的人數可能會每天休會，並可能被授權以每個院所可能規定的處罰方式，以缺席的方式強迫缺席議員出席會議。	Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns and Qualifications of its own Members, and a Majority of each shall constitute a Quorum to do Business; but a smaller Number may adjourn from day to day, and may be authorized to compel the Attendance of absent Members, in such Manner, and under such Penalties as each House may provide.
每個眾議院可以確定其議事規則，對會員的不當行為進行懲罰，並在三分之二的同意下開除會員。	Each House may determine the Rules of its Proceedings, punish its Members for disorderly Behaviour, and, with the Concurrence of two thirds, expel a Member.
每個議院均應保留其議事日記，並不時予以公佈，但其判決中可能要求保密的部分除外；任一個議院的議員對任何問題的讚成和反對，均應按當事者的五分之一的意願輸入日刊。	Each House shall keep a Journal of its Proceedings, and from time to time publish the same, excepting such Parts as may in their Judgment require Secrecy; and the Yeas and Nays of the Members of either House on any question shall, at the Desire of one fifth of those Present, be entered on the Journal.
在國會會議期間，兩院均不得在未經另一院同意的情況下延期三天以上，也不得休會至兩院所在地。	Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.

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.
在當選期間，任何參議員或代表均不得被任命為應在美國授權下設立的任何民事機構，或在此期間應增加其動用的薪酬；在美國任職的任何人均不得擔任任職任期的眾議院議員。	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 encreased 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.
部分。7	Section. 7.
所有增加收入的法案應起源於眾議院；但參議院可以像其他法案一樣提議或同意修正案。	All Bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with Amendments as on other Bills.
在眾議院和參議院通過的每一項法案，在成為法律之前，應提交給美國總統；如果得到他的同意，他將簽字，如果沒有，他將把反對意見連同他的反對意見一起退還給該反對意見發生的那座議院，該反對者應在其日刊上廣泛加入反對意見，然後重新考慮該反對意見。如果在該重新審議之後，該眾議院的三分之二同意通過該法案，則該法案連同異議應被送交另一眾議院，並由另一眾議院重新審議，並經該眾議院的三分之二批准，成為法律。但是，在所有這種情況下，兩院的投票權應由贊成票和反對票決定，對該法案投贊成票和反對票的人的姓名應分別記錄在每一院的日刊上。如果總統在提出法案後十日內（除星期日外）未將任何法案退還，則該法案應為法律，就像曼納已簽署該法案一樣，除非國會休會後阻止它的返回，在這種情況下，它不是法律。	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 reconsider 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 President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented 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.
參議院和眾議院可能需要通過的每項命令，決議或表決（休會問題除外）均應提交給美國總統；並在該法案生效之前，應根據法案規定的規則和限制，由參議院和眾議院的三分之二通過，由他批准或被他拒絕。	Every Order, Resolution, or Vote to which the Concurrence of the Senate and House of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question 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 repassed by two thirds of the Senate and House of Representatives, according to the Rules and Limitations prescribed in the Case of a Bill.
