“Mr. President, I ask that the Chair read rule XIX. The PRESIDING OFFICER. For the information of Senators, rule XIX, paragraph 4 states: If any Senator, in speaking or otherwise, in the opinion of the Presiding Officer transgress the rules of the Senate the Presiding Officer shall, either on his own motion or at the request of any other Senator, call him to order; and when a Senator shall be called to order he shall take his seat, and may not proceed without leave of the Senate, which, if granted, shall be upon motion that he be allowed to proceed in order, which motion shall be determined without debate. Any Senator directed by the Presiding Officer to take his seat, and any Senator requesting the Presiding Officer to require a Senator to take his seat, may appeal from the ruling of the Chair, which appeal shall be open to debate. Mr. BROWN addressed the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Ohio.”
