美國宪法第一条确定由美国国会来作为美国联邦政府中的立法機關,包括其由联邦众议院和联邦参议院两院组成及两院议员的选举方式、任职资格、任期及人数等。同时还规定了立法程序,列举了立法机构的权力,最后还说明了联邦国会和各州相应权力的限制。把國會作為憲法第一條,代表國會至上的原則,而國會是國民的代表,有國民主權的意味。
概览
[编辑]第一款:立法权属于国会
[编辑]All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
- 译文:本宪法授予的联邦立法权,属于由参议院和众议院组成的合众国国会[1]。
宪法第一条第一款将联邦立法权完全赋予联邦国会。在宪法第二条与第三条中,也有类似条款将行政权赋予联邦总统,将司法权赋予联邦法庭。宪法的前三条共同构成了美国联邦政府三权分立的宪政基础,也即联邦政府的立法、行政、司法机构独立施行宪法所赋予的权力,并且不得侵犯另一机构的宪法权力,以此来维护对人民负责的有限政府。
宪法第一条关于国会立法权的规定中特别强调了三权分立的原则。宪法规定国会仅能就宪法第一条明文列出的事项施行立法权(并受到之后的第十修正案的进一步制约)。同时,国会也不得将立法权委任给政府的其他两个分支(行政分支和司法分支),这项原则被称为不得委任学说(nondelegation doctrine)。然而,最高法院通过案例确认国会有权将具体事务的监管权赋予个别行政机构,只要国会就此行政机构如何行使其权力制定了清晰的指导原则(intelligible principle)。
虽然宪法并未明文规定,但是国会早已事实拥有调查听证权,并且经由最高法院确认此权力为行使国会立法权所必须之附带权力。然而,最高法院同时也限制此调查听证权应当限于与国会立法有关而不可任意滥用。国会调查听证无可争议的经常对象之一就是联邦行政分支,然而国会能否强制总统或联邦政府官员提交文件或证词却充满了争议(见“行政豁免权”)。
在实际听证中,国会受限的听证权意味着国会不能对个体公民的私人生活进行调查听证。根据三权分立原则,对于个体公民的调查听证权力应当属于法院而非国会。不过,自大萧条以来,法院倾向于尊重国会的调查听证权,而非施加不必要的限制。
第二款:众议院
[编辑]第1节:众议员的组成和选举方式
[编辑]The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature.
- 译文:联邦众议院由各州人民每两年(直接)选举产生的众议员组成。各州选民须具备该州州议会两院中议席较多之一院的选民资格。[1]。
因为联邦众议员由选民直接选举产生,所以当众议员议席出缺时,州长不能指定临时众议员,而应当根据第二款第四节之规定组织补选以填补此空缺。(相对的,联邦参议员出缺时,州长可指定临时参议员直至下次参议员选举。)
宪法制定时,并未明确指出公民拥有直接选举权。然而,宪法中明确规定了在州议会选举中拥有选举权的公民也拥有众议员的选举权。立宪先贤们借此清晰地表明了众议院应当由公民直接选举产生。
自南北战争以来,通过了若干个宪法修正案以阻止各州对于选民资格的不当限制。例如,宪法第十四修正案赋予所有美国公民以平等的选举权。第十五修正案禁止基于种族、肤色或之前为奴隶的经历而剥夺公民的选举权。第十九修正案禁止基于性别而剥夺公民的选举权,也即赋予妇女选举权。第二十四修正案禁止基于选举税而剥夺公民选举权。第二十六修正案则将选举权年龄降低至十八周岁。
最高法院认为选举权乃是基本人权之一,因此基于“平等保护条款”而对各州剥夺选举权的规定进行了异常严格的限定。对于选举权的认定仅基于是否为美国公民,居住于何州,以及年龄。
由于第三节规定每州都应选出至少一名众议员进入众议院代表本州,因此众议院中众议员数量并非严格正比于各州选民数量。因为众议院议席固定为435席,而若干小州的选民人数不足全国选民人数的1/435,然而这些小州也会选出一名众议员,相当于小州“侵夺”了大州的一些众议员名额。然而,最高法院也裁定若任何州选举产生多名众议员,则在该州内各联邦众议员选区之人口应当基本相等。
第2节:众议员的选举资格
[编辑]No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.
- 译文:第二款 凡年龄不满二十五岁,成为合众国公民不满七年,在一州当选时不是该州居民者,不得担任众议员[1]。
宪法中对众议员的代表资格做了三条规定:至少25岁,在一州当选时必须是该州公民,并且之前7年必须是美国公民。宪法中并没有规定议员必须是其所代表的具体选区的公民,不过实际情况上除一些少数例外情况外通常如此[2]。
第3节:各州众议员和直接税份额分配
[编辑]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 not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct. The number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative; and until such enumeration shall be made, the State of New Hampshire shall be entitled to chuse(原文如此) three, Massachusetts eight, Rhode-Island and Providence Plantations one, Connecticut five, New-York six, New Jersey four, Pennsylvania eight, Delaware one, Maryland six, Virginia ten, North Carolina five, South Carolina five, and Georgia three.
- 译文:众议员名额和直接税税额,在本联邦可包括的各州中,按照各自人口比例进行分配。各州人口数,按自由人总数加上所有其他人口的五分之三予以确定。自由人总数包括必须服一定年限劳役的人,但不包括未被征税的印第安人。人口的实际统计在合众国国会第一次会议后三年内和此后每十年内,依法律规定的方式进行。每三万人选出的众议员人数不得超过一名,但每州至少须有一名众议员;在进行上述人口统计以前,新罕布什尔州有权选出三名,马萨诸塞州八名,罗德岛州和普罗维登斯种植地一名,康涅狄格州五名,纽约州六名,新泽西州四名,宾夕法尼亚州八名,特拉华州一名,马里兰州六名,弗吉尼亚州十名,北卡罗莱纳州五名,南卡罗莱纳州五名,乔治亚州三名[1]。

[编辑]第1节:参议员的人数组成和选举
[编辑]The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.
- 译文:合众国参议院由每州州议会选举的两名参议员组成,任期六年;每名参议员有一票表决权[1]。
第2节:参议员的选举方式及出现空缺时的措施
[编辑]Immediately after they shall be assembled in 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 fourth Year, and of the third Class at the Expiration of the sixth Year, so that one third may be chosen every second Year; and if Vacancies happen by Resignation, or otherwise, during the Recess of the Legislature of any State, the Executive thereof may make temporary Appointments until the next Meeting of the Legislature, which shall then fill such Vacancies.
- 译文:参议员在第一次选举后集会时,立即分为人数尽可能相等的三个组。第一组参议员席位在第二年年终空出,第二组参议员席位在第四年年终空出,第三组参议员席位在第六年年终空出,以便三分之一的参议员得每二年改选一次。在任何一州州议会休会期间,如因辞职或其他原因而出现缺额时,该州行政长官在州议会下次集会填补此项缺额前,得任命临时参议员[1]。
第3节:参议员当选资格
[编辑]No Person shall be a Senator who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty Years, and been nine Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State for which he shall be chosen.
- 译文:凡年龄不满30岁,成为合众国公民不满9年,在一州当选时不是该州居民者,不得担任参议员[1]。

第6节:弹劾案审判权
[编辑]The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
第7节:弹劾案判决的权限范围和罪名成立后的惩罚
[编辑]Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
- 译文:弹劾案的判决,不得超出免职和剥夺担任和享有合众国属下有荣誉、有责任或有薪金的任何职务的资格。但被定罪的人,仍可依法受起诉、审判、判决和惩罚[1]。

- 译文:每院是本院议员的选举、选举结果报告和资格的裁判者。每院议员过半数,即构成议事的法定人数;但不足法定人数时,得逐日休会,并有权按每院规定的方式和罚则,强迫缺席议员出席会议[1]。

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 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.
- 译文:众议院和参议院通过的每一议案,在成为法律前须送交合众国总统;总统如批准该议案,即应签署;如不批准,则应将该议案连同其反对意见退回最初提出该议案的议院。该院应将此项反对意见详细载入本院会议记录并进行复议。如经复议后,该院三分之二议员同意通过该议案,该议案连同反对意见应一起送交另一议院,并同样由该院进行复议,如经该院三分之二议员赞同,该议案即成为法律。但在所有这类情况下,两院表决都由赞成票和反对票决定;对该议案投赞成票和反对票的议员姓名应分别载入每一议院会议记录。如任何议案在送交总统十天内(星期日除外)未经总统退回,该议案如同总统已签署一样,即成为法律,除非国会休会而使该议案不能退回,在此种情况下,该议案不能成为法律[1]。

- 译文:凡须由参议院和众议院一致同意的每项命令、决议或表决(关于休会问题除外),须送交合众国总统,该项命令、决议或表决在生效前,须由总统批准,如总统不批准,则按照关于议案所规定的规则和限制,由参议院和众议院三分之二议员重新通过[1]。
