Article II, Section 1, Clause 7

He ••••••es a compenſation, which cannot be diminiſhed or in•••ſed, during his continuance in office.

The paragraph says the president's compensation cannot be diminished or increased during his continuance in office, as Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 provides. Part of the word "increased" is lost in the scan; the quoted words come before it.

I have remarked, that under the conſtition, his ſalary can be neither augmented nor curtailed, during his commiſſion; and, to change the conſtitution, is not in the power of congreſs.

The paragraph says the president's salary can be neither augmented nor curtailed during his commission, as Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 provides.

The Preſident ſhall, at ſtated times, receive for his ſervices, a compenſation, which ſhall neither be increaſed nor diminiſhed during the period for which he ſhall have been elected, and he ſhall not receive within that period any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.

The paragraph prints Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 of the Constitution as signed; the quoted words are the same as the clause's (apart from capitals and the long s), though the pamphlet's punctuation differs in places.

It will be observed that a difference has been made by the convention between the compensation of the President and of the judges, That of the former can neither be increased nor diminished; that of the latter can only not be diminished.

Names the compensation of the President and repeats this clause's words "neither be increased nor diminished."

…marked the manner and time of their election, and established the qualifications of the president; it also provides against the removal, death, or inability of the president and vice-president — regulates the salary of the president, delineates his duties and powers; and, lastly, declares the causes for which the president and vice-president shall be removed from office.

In its summary of "the 2d article", the paragraph names the clause on the president's compensation ("the salary of the president").

…the services of the judges shall not be diminished during their continuance in office; and this is contrasted with the compensation to the President, which is to be neither increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected; but that of the judges maybe increased, and the judges may hold other offices of a lucrative nature, and their judgments be thereby warped.

In stating an objection, the speaker repeats the words of the President's compensation clause; he does not name it by number.

…he shall, at stated times, receive for his services a compensation that shall neither be increased nor diminished during the period for which he shall have been elected, and that he shall not receive, within that period, any other emolument from the United States, or any of them.

The speaker states the provision for the President's compensation in the clause's own words; he does not name it by number.

…person, holding an office of profit or trust, shall accept of any present or emolument whatever, from any foreign power, without the consent of the representatives of the people;” and by the I st section of the 2d article, his compensation is neither to be increased nor diminished during the time for which he shall have been elected; and he shall not, during that period, receive any emolument from the United States or any of them.

The speaker cites the first section of the second article (printed "I st") and says his compensation is "neither to be increased nor diminished during the time for which he shall have been elected", words close to those of Article II, Section 1, seventh clause.
