ignated for that purpose in clause 8 of rule XVIII and
except pro forma amendments for the purpose of debate.
Each amendment so printed may be offered only by the

the amendment in the nature of a substitute made in order
as original text. The previous question shall be considered
as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final
passage without intervening motion except one motion to
recommit with or without instructions.
