LEGISLATIVE DECISIONS.
145 .- A motion to adjourn having been lost, the motion is not again in order, there having been no intervening business. S. J. 1901, p. 1573.
The ruling is correct. According to the usual practice, intervening debate is such business as will permit the renewal of the motion.
146 .- A bill having just been taken from the table, a motion was made to place it . on the order of Third Reading of Bills. The chair declared that the motion had pre- vailed by a majority vote. Objection was raised that the motion involved a suspen- sion of the rules and required a two-thirds vote. Objection overruled. S. J. 1901, p. 1655.
The point would have been well taken if the bill had been in its regular course. In this case, the committee of the whole had been discharged, and there was no regular course for the bill to follow after being taken from the table.
147 .- During the discussion at length by a member of the question of the reconsid- eration of the vote whereby a bill was passed another member secured the floor and made the point of order that the member speaking was pursuing dilatory tactics. Held, that the point of order was well taken. H. J. 1901, p. 1234.
It may seem somewhat arbitrary to deprive a member of the floor, when he is con- ducting himself in accordance with the rules. The question is, however, one which involves the time of the house, and when it is apparent to every one that that time is not being used in good faith, but is being used simply to obstruct the business of the house, it is the duty of the speaker to see that the transaction of business is proceeded with, even if it becomes necessary to rule off the floor a member, who is talking against time.
148 .- A substitute for a substitute is not in order. S. J. 1903, p. 708.
See comment on No. 3.
149 .- A bill reported by a committee without recommendation need not be referred to the committee of the whole under the rules. S. J. 1903, p. 708.
The rule requires that all bills when reported shall be referred to the committee of the whole, and would seem to apply to this case. In the absence of express provision, the bill would not be placed on the general order without being ordered there, but would be subject to any action the Senate might wish to take.
150 .- A point of order that an amendment proposed in committee of the whole and rejected cannot be proposed on the final passage of the bill is not well taken. . S. J. 1903, p. 777.
The amendment is before the Senate for the first time, the proceedings in committee of the whole not being the proceedings of the Senate, and is consequently not out of order.
151 .- A bill appropriating money for the purpose of making an exhibit at the Louisi- ana Purchase Exposition does not appropriate public property for a private purpose, and does not require a two-thirds vote for its passage. (Opinion of Attorney General.) S. J. 1903, p. 795.
See comment on No. 98.
152 .- Pairs are not recognized by the rules and therefore cannot be made. S. J. 1903, p. 955.
Pairs in Congress are permitted and regulated by the rules, but neither the Michigan House or Senate rules make any provision for them.
153 .- A second motion to reconsider may be made, one having been made and lost. H. J. 1903, p. 1035.
See House Rule No. 34.
154 .- The fact that a bill, if it became a law, would be unconstitutional is no ground for a point of order. H. J. 1903, p. 1885.
While, strictly speaking, the question is not one of procedure, and, consequently not one upon which to base a point of order, the Speaker is doubtless justifiable in ruling out a bill which is clearly unconstitutional. The right should be carefully ex- ercised and the Speaker should never rule a bill out of order for that reason, when there is any question as to its unconstitutionality.
155 .- The question being on the passage of a bill, a motion relative to another bill was held out of order. H. J. 1903, p. 1912.
A question under consideration should be disposed of before another is taken up.
