Alan Simpson: “I make a point of order against the motion to recommit. This motion is…”

On the recordOctober 2, 2013

I make a point of order against the motion to recommit. This motion is not germane and as such is a violation of rule XVI, clause 7, which states: No motion or proposition on a subject different from that under consideration shall be admitted under color of amendment. This motion deals with a proposition unrelated to the matter addressed by the joint resolution and brings in a matter under the jurisdiction of the Committee on Rules, which fails the committee of jurisdiction test, and therefore is a violation of rule XVI, clause 7. I ask for a ruling from the Chair. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Does any Member wish to be heard on the point of order?
