RULES OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES. 121

RULE XX.

On a motion for a previous question, or a motion to lie on
the table, or a motion to adjourn, there shall be no debate.
And all incidental questions arising after either of these
motions have been made, and pending the same, shall be de-
cided, whether upon appeal or otherwise, without debate.

RULE: XXI.

Every question shall be entered on the Journal, and the
yeas and nays shall be taken when required by five members,
and after the voting shall have commenced on any question,
or the Clerk has commenced the roll-call on any question,
resolution, order or bill upon which the vote is required to be
taken by yeas and nays, debate shall not be entertained nor
any motion received or propounded by the Speaker until the
conclusion of the vote and announcement of the result.

RULE XXII.

Any member may call for the division of the question,
which shall be divided, if it comprehends propositions in
substance so distinct that, on being taken away, a substantive
proposition shall remain for the decision of the House.

RULE XXIII.

A motion to strike out and insert shall be deemed indivi-
sible, but the matter proposed to be inserted may be divided,
if required, according to Rule XXII. A motion to strike out
being lost, shall preclude neither amendment nor a motion to
strike out and insert. No motion or proposition on a subject
different from that under consideration, shall be admitted
under color of amendment.

RULE XXIV.

All questions, except on the final passage of a bill, or a
motion to suspend the Rules, or those otherwise herein pro-
vided for, shall be determined by a majority of the members
present and voting; those dividing in the affirmative rising in
their places, those in the negative continuing in their seats
and so vice versa, until a decision by the Speaker.

RULE XXV.

The question on the final passage of a bill shall always be-
determined by the yeas and nays which shall be recorded on.
