On the recordJuly 14, 2014
Mr. Chairman, I make a point of order against the amendment because it proposes to change existing law, and it constitutes legislation in an appropriation bill and, therefore, violates clause 2 of rule XXI. {time} 2200 The rule states in pertinent part: ``An amendment to a general appropriation bill shall not be in order if changing existing law.'' The amendment confers new authority. I ask for a ruling from the Chair. The Acting CHAIR. Does any other Member wish to be heard on the point of order?
