bills. |
When a Member desires to bring in a bill on any subject, he states
to the House in general terms the causes for doing it, and concludes by
moving for leave to bring in a bill, entitled, &c. Leave being given, on
the question, a committee is appointed to prepare and bring in the bill.
The mover and seconder are always appointed of this committee, and one
or more in addition. Hakew., 132; Scob., 40. It is to be presented
fairly written, without any erasure or interlineation, or the Speaker
