amendment in the nature of a substitute shall be consid-
ered as read. During consideration of the bill for amend-
ment, the chairman of the Committee of the Whole may

vided that the minimum time for electronic voting on the

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 committee amendment in the nature of a
substitute. The previous question shall be considered as
ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final pas-
sage without intervening motion except one motion to re-
commit with or without instructions.
