It, therefore, embodies the two forms of amendment: to strike out a paragraph, and to insert another. If a question is under amendment a substitute for the whole is not in order until the amendment is first disposed of.
142. Example:
A offers a motion.
B offers a substitute for the motion.
C offers an amendment to the substitute.
The above should be acted upon in inverse order, i. e., beginning with C, unless the friends of A's motion desire to perfect it by amendment before the substitute is acted upon. The friends of both—the motion and substitute—beginning with the motion, have a right to perfect them before the test vote is taken.
Example:
A offers a motion.
B offers an amendment.
C offers an amendment to the amendment.
D offers a substitute for A's motion.
E offers an amendment to the substitute.
