Point of Order
December 10, 1912
Discrepancy with provisions of the ways and means resolutionJuly 14 and 15, 1975
Hon. James Jerome
Speaker of the House
Ruling Text
Based upon a number of precedents, there are two possible remedies; either to obtain another recommendation amending the preceding resolution or to delete the inconsistent provisions of the bill.
In this case, there is no attempt to go beyond the provisions of the bill, rather it is more a matter of form and procedure. Consequently, the Chair does not feel the need to discharge the order for second reading and to withdraw the bill as suggested in the point of order.
