The Parliamentarian provided the Chair with the precedents when this matter was before the Chair on previous occasions. Under the precedents, the matter has been referred to the Senate for decision.

If the point of order is sustained by the Senate, the Presiding Officer will refer the bill to the appropriate committee. If the point of order is not sustained. the bill will be placed on the calendar.

The question then is, Is the point of order made by the Senator from South Carolina well taken? The question is debatable."

Pending debate,
