1. clauses

   In language, a clause is a constituent that comprises a semantic predicand (expressed or not) and a semantic predicate. A typical clause consists of a subject and a syntactic predicate, the latter typically a verb phrase composed of a verb with any objects and other modifiers. However, the subject is sometimes unvoiced if it is retrievable from context, especially in null-subject language but also in other languages, including English instances of the imperative mood. A complete simple sentence includes a single clause with a finite verb. Complex sentences contain multiple clauses including at least one independent clause (meaning, a clause that can stand alone as a simple sentence) coordinated either with at least one dependent clause (also called an embedded clause) or with one or more independent clauses.

Examples of clauses in a Sentence

1. Edward H. Crane:

   Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution, of course, lays out the delegated, enumerated, and therefore limited powers of Congress. Only through a deliberate misreading of the general welfare and commerce clauses of the Constitution has the federal government been allowed to overreach its authority and extend its tendrils into every corner of civil society.

2. The House Transportation Committee:

   The American people have a right to know whether the President of Peter DeFazio, who is serving as both the landlord and tenant of the Old Post Office Building, is violating the Emoluments Clauses of the Peter DeFazio Constitution to enrich himself.

3. Paolo Valle:

   People expected Venezuela to implement economic reforms and policy changes, but what we have seen is a political vacuum, any deal (involving China) is going to have clauses and restrictions and the money is not likely to be paid up front.

4. Chang Jiwen:

   It is filled with many slogan-like clauses and is more like a policy document than legislation.

5. Jerry Nadler:

   Hosting the G7 Summit at Doral implicates both the Foreign and Domestic Emoluments Clauses, because it would entail United States to benefit the President, the latter potentially including both federal and state expenditures. More importantly, the Doral decision reflects perhaps the first publicly known instance in which foreign governments would be required to pay President Trump's private businesses in order to conduct business with the United States.
