members for disorderly behaviour, and, with the concurrence of
two-thirds, expel a member.
III. 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 journals.

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,

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.
II. 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 VII.
I. All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the house of
