in the House or in the Committee of the Whole. All points
of order against that amendment are waived. If that
amendment is adopted, the provisions of the amendment
in the nature of a substitute as then perfected shall be
considered as original text for the purpose of further
amendment. No other amendment to the amendment in
the nature of a substitute shall be in order except those
printed in the portion of the Congressional Record des-
ignated for that purpose in clause 6 of rule XXIII. Printed
amendments shall be considered as read. The chairman
of the Committee of the Whole may: (1) postpone until
a time during further consideration in the Committee of
the Whole a request for a recorded vote on any amend-
ment; and (2) reduce to five minutes the minimum time
for electronic voting on any postponed question that fol-
lows another electronic vote without intervening business:
Provided, That the minimum time for electronic voting on
the first in any series of questions shall be 15 minutes. At
the conclusion of consideration of the bill for amendment
the Committee shall rise and report the bill to the House
with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any
Member may demand a separate vote in the House on any
amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole to the
bill or to the amendment in the nature of a substitute ulti-
mately considered as original text. The previous question
