POINTS OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW Congress must meet at least once a year. Congress may admit as many new states as desired. One State cannot undo the act of another. By the Constitution every citizen is guaranteed a speedy trial by jury. Congress cannot pass a law to punish for a crime already committed. A person who commits a felony in one State cannot find refuge in another. Treaties with foreign powers are made by the President and ratified by the Senate. The territories each have a delegate to Congress who is allowed the privilege of debate, but not the cight to vote. The Vice-President, who ex-officio presides over the Senate has no vote in that body except in case of a tie ballot. If the President holds a bill longer than ten days while Congress is in session it becomes a law without his signature. An act of Congress cannot become a law over the President's veto except on a two-thirds vote of both houses. The House of Representatives may impeach the President for any crime, but the Senate has the sole cower to try all impeachments. Amendments to the Constitution of the United States require a two-third vote of each House of Congress, and must be ratified by at least three- fourths of the States. The President of the United States must be at least 35 years of age; a Senator, 30; a Congressman, 25; The President must have been a resident of the United States fourteen years. A naturalized citizen is not eligible to the office of President of the United States. A male child born in a foreign land to American parents has an equal chance to become the President with one born on American soil. The United States shall guarantee to every State a Republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion, and on application of the Legislature or of the Executive (when the Legis- lature cannot be convened), against domestic trouble.
