“I understand. The motion to recommit that we are voting on today that we are seeking to have an up or down vote on, I would say, would give us an opportunity to hear this. You don't need to raise the point of order. If you want to simply go vote to sustain this ridiculous formula, vote on the Lowey amendment in an act of good faith that we showed by entering into the unanimous consent. That is why the point of order should be withdrawn. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order? If not, the Chair is prepared to rule. The motion to recommit proposes an amendment prescribing a new rule of law regarding the Federal income tax. As such, it constitutes legislation in violation of clause 2(c) of rule XXI. The point of order is sustained. The motion to recommit is not in order.”
