Clause 2. 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.=--Clause 1. 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.
Clause 2. 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 (Sunday 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.
Clause 3. 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.
=Section VIII.=--Clause 1. The Congress shall have power to lay
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts
and provide for the common defence and general welfare of the
United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform
throughout the United States;
Clause 2. To borrow money on the credit of the United States;

several States, and with the Indian tribes;
Clause 4. To establish an uniform rule of naturalization, and

States;
