If that situation would arise, the Chair would rule that such & motion would not be in order, based on Senate precedents. “The other parliamentary inquiry which the Senator from Arkansas (Mr. MCCLELLAN] raised was, with regard to an amendment which had been presented and which was in process of being read, the time having expired during the course of the reading of the amendment, what effect would the expiration of the time have on the question whether the amendment thereby qualified as having been read under rule?
