TO STRIKE OUT THE ENACTING CLAUSE.

(See Rule XXVIII.)

This motion takes precedence of the motion to amend, and
if carried, rejects the bill. The motion is debatable, and
cannot be amended, but can be reconsidered.

TO AMEND.

All the foregoing motions take precedence of this motion.
Debate must be limited to the subject of the amendment; can
be reconsidered. No motion or proposition on a subject dif-
ferent from that under consideration shall be admitted under
color of an amendment. An amendment may be moved to
an amendment, but no farther; but there may be submitted at
the same time an amendment in the nature of a substitute for
the whole or part of the original text, and an amendment to
that amendment, but it cannot be voted upon until the original
matter is perfected.

A House amendment to a Senate bill may be amended, but
it must be returned to the House for their concurrence.

[NOTE.—The foregoing motions are arranged in the order of precedence to
which they apply to questions under consideration. When one of the foregoing
motions is received, the practice is not to receive one of lower dignity until the
former Is disposed of. None of the aforegoing motions are in order when a
question Is being actually put, when the roll is being called, or when another has
the floor,

in the case of General Appropriation bills, or to postpone a
