Immediately after they fhall be affembled in confequence of the firft Election, they fhall be divided, as equally as may be, into three claff- es. The Seats of the Senators of the firft clafs fhall be vacated at the expiration of the fecond year, of the fecond clafs at the expiration of the fourth year, and of the third clafs at the expiration of the fixth year, fo that one-third may be chofen every fecond year; and if va- cancies happen by refignation or otherwife, during the recefs of the Legiflature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary appointments until the next meeting of the Legiflature, which fhall then fill fuch vacancies.

Each houfe may determine the rules of its proceedings, punifh its members for diforderly behavior, and, with the concurrence of two- thirds, expel a member.
Each houfe fhall keep a journal of its proceedings, and from time to time publifh the fame, excepting fuch parts as may in their judgment require fecrecy ; and the Yeas and Nays of the members of either houfe on any queftion, fhall, at the defire of one-fifth of thofe prefent, be entered on the journal.

No Senator or Reprefentative fhall, during the time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil office under the authority of the United States, which fhall have been created, or the emoluments where- of fhall have been increafed during fuch time ; and no perfon holding any office under the United States, fhall be a member of either houfe during his continuance in office.
Sect. 7. All bills for raifing revenue, fhall originate in the houfe of Reprefentatives; but the Senate may propofe or concur with amendi ments as on other bills.
Every bill which fhall have paffed the Houfe of Reprefentatives and the Senate, fhall, before it become a law, be prefented to the Prefident of the United States; if he approve, he thall fign it; but if not, he fhall return it, with his objections, to that houfe in which it fhall have originated, who fhall enter the objections at large on their journal, and proceed to re-cor.fider it. If after fuch re-confideration two-thirds of that houfe fhall agree to pafs the bill, it fhall be fent, together with the objections, to the other houfe, by which it fhall likewife be re-con- fidered, and if approved by two-thirds of that houfe, it fhall become a law. But in all fuch cafes, the votes of both houfes fhall be deter- mined by Yeas and Nays, and the names of the perfons voting for and againft the bill, fhall be entered on the journal of each houfe refpec- tively. If any bill fhall not be returned by the Prefident within ten days (Sundays excepted) after it fhall have been prefented to him, the fame fhall be a law, in like manner as if he had figned it, unlef's the Congrefs by their adjournment prevent its return, in which cafe it fhall not be a law.
[ 4 ]
Every order, Refolution or vote to which the concurrence of the Senate and Houfe of Reprefentatives may be neceffary (except on a queftion of adjournment) fhall be prefented to the Prefident of the United States ; and before the fame fhall take effect, fhall be approved by him, or being difapproved by him, thall be repaffed by two-thirds of the Senate and Houfe of Reprefentatives, according to the rules and limitations prefcribed in the cafe of a bill.
