RULE XXXV.

A motion to strike out and insert shall be deemed indi-
visible ; but the matter proposed to be inserted may be divided,
if required, according to Rule XXXIV; the motion to strike
out being lost, shall preclude neither amendment nor motion to
strike out and insert; no motion or proposition on a subject
different from that under consideration shall be admitted un-
der color of amendment.

RULE XXXVI.

When a question has once been put and carried in the affirm-
ative or negative, by yeas and nays, it shall be in order for any
member voting with the prevailing side to move for the recon-
sideration thereof; but in cases where the question has failed
for want of a constitutional majority it shall be in order for
any member voting on either side of the question to move for
the reconsideration thereof; and in all cases where the vote
has not been taken by yeas and nays, any Senator may move a
reconsideration; but no vote for the reconsideration of any
vote shall be in order after a bill, resolution, message, report,
amendment, or motion upon which the vote was taken shall
have gone out of the possession of the Senate announcing its
decision; nor shall any motion for reconsideration be in order
unless made on the same day on which the vote was taken, or
within the next two days of actual session of the Senate there-
after.

RULE XXXVII.

All questions shall be determined by a majority of the Sena-
tors present, except such as are otherwise provided for by the
rules of the Senate.

RULE XXXVIII.

Every question shall be entered on the Journal, and the vote
taken by yeas and nays if required by a Senator.

RULE XXXIX.

Petitions, memorials and other papers addressed to the Sen-
ate shall be presented by the President, or by a member in his
place, and the object of all petitions and memorials shall be
endorsed on the back and entered on the Journal.
