76. When a bill has passed the Senate, the President or Clerk shall read its title, and the President shall demand if the Senate agree to its title; and if the Senate is agreed the Clerk shall make out the title accordingly, and shall certify the passage of the bill upon the back thereof.
77. No bill having been passed or resolution adopted, shall be delayed in trans- mission to the House because a motion for reconsideration has been made and re- mains undisposed of. When a motion to reconsider is laid upon the table it shall not carry the bill or resolution with it.
78. After commitment and report to the Senate, or at any time before its pas- sage, a bill or resolution may be recommitted.
79. After bills have been read the third time they shall not be amended, except by recommitment to a committee with instructions to amend, which instructions shall embody, substantially, the amendment or amendments proposed.
