tive Houses, and in going to and
returning from the same; and for
any Speech or Debate in either
House, they shall not be ques
tioned in any other Place.
•Art 2 Sec 4: The President,
Vice President and all civil
Officers of the United States,
shall be removed from Office
on Impeachment for, and
Conviction of, Treason, Bribery,
or other high Crimes and
Misdemeanors.
•Amendment 14 Section L All
persons born or naturalized in
the United States, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and
of the State wherein they reside.

zens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any per

jurisdiction the equal protection
of the laws.
