Article 1 Section 1. All

shall be vested in a Congress of
the United States, which shall

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

each State, chosen by the

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

their Attendance at the Session
of their respective Houses, and
in going to and returning from
the same; and for any Speech or

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

Manner as if he had signed it,
unless the Congress by their

the Senate and House of
