Article 86.
No person can be a minister who is not a Belgian by birth, or
who has not received the "grande naturalization."

Article 87.
No member of the royal family can be a minister.

Article 88.
Ministers have a deliberative voice in either Chamber only
when they are members of it. They have free admission into
each Chamber and must have a hearing when they ask for it. The
Chambers may require the presence of ministers.

Article 89.
In no case, can the order of the King, verbal or written,
relieve a minister of responsibility.

Article 90.
The Chamber of Representatives has the right to accuse
ministers and to arraign them before the Court of Cassation
[Appeal], which alone has the right to judge them, the united
Chambers reserving what may be enacted by law concerning civil
action by a party wronged, and as to crimes and misdemeanors
which ministers may have committed outside of the performance
of their duties. A law shall determine the cases of
responsibility, the penalties to be inflicted on the
ministers, and the manner of proceeding against them, either
upon the accusation admitted by the Chamber of
Representatives, or upon prosecution by parties wronged.

Article 91.
The King may pardon a minister sentenced by the Court of
Cassation only upon the request of one of the two Chambers.
