Before we move on to clause 3, I'd like to comment on Mr. Comartin's complaint about not having been given an opportunity to challenge the chair. In the future, if I give you a five- or ten-second break to consider it and you need more time, please ask me and I will give you that opportunity. I certainly don't want to shut anyone down from challenging the chair; it's not my role to do that. But I do want these meetings to move along expeditiously. If you can let me know if you're considering whether or not to challenge the chair, I will give you time to do that.
(Clause 3 agreed to: yeas 7; nays 3)
(Clause 4 agreed to: yeas 8; nays 2)
I would like to make a suggestion. There are still four more numbered clauses and then four summarizing clauses. We could do them in an omnibus motion if you wish.
It's been suggested that we do the four numbered clauses as a group. We'll be voting on clauses 5, 6, 7, and 8.
