Rodney Frelinghuysen: “I make a point of order against the amendment because it proposes to…”

On the recordJuly 14, 2011

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 requires a new determination. I ask for a ruling from the Chair. The Acting CHAIR. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of order? The gentleman from California is recognized.
