  • The Speech or Debate Clause is a clause in the United States Constitution (Article I, Section 6, Clause 1). The clause states that members of both Houses of Congress "shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony, and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their attendance at the Session of their Respective Houses, and in going to and from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place." The intended purpose is to prevent a U.S. President or other officials of the executive branch from having members arrested on a pretext to prevent them from voting a certain way or otherwise taking actions with which the president might disagree. It also protects members from civil suits related to their official duties. A similar clause in many state constitutions protects members of state legislatures. Legislators elsewhere in the world are often similarly protected under the doctrine of parliamentary immunity. (en)
  • 言論或辯論條款 （英語：Speech or Debate Clause）源自《美利堅合眾國憲法》第一條第6款之第1節。該條款規定美國國會兩院議員“除犯叛國罪、和外，在一切情況下都享有在出席各自議院會議期間和往返於各自議院途中不受逮捕的特權。他們不得因在各自議院發表的演說或辯論而在任何其他地方受到質問。” 該條款預期目的是防止總統或行政部門的其他官員以藉口逮捕成員，以阻止他們以某種方式投票或採取總統可能不同意的其他行動。它還保護成員免受與其公務有關的民事訴訟。 美國許多州憲法中的類似條款保護美國的成員，並且世界其他地方的立法者通常同樣受到的保護。 (zh)
