Political Quotes

On the recordApril 30, 2014
I make a point of order against the amendment because it proposes to change existing law and constitutes legislation in an appropriation bill and, therefore, violates clause 2 of rule XXI. The rule states, in pertinent part: ``An amendment to a general appropriation bill shall not be in order if changing existing law.'' The amendment imposes additional duties or requires a new determination. Mr. Chairman, I ask for a ruling from the Chair. The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order?
