The dates under each rule in­ dicate when the rule and its amendments were adopted. , j The date 1817 denotes the time when the several rules against which it is placed were first preserved.

T h e P r e s i d e n t . 1. The President shall take the chair at the hour to which the Senate stands adjourned, shall call the members to order, and, on the appearance of a quorum, shall proceed to business. (1.) ‘ [1831; 1888.] 2. The President shall preserve order and decorum, may speak to points of order in preference to other members, and shall de­ cide all questions of order subject to an appeal to the Senate. (2.) He shall rise to put a question, or to address the Senate, but may read sitting. (5.) [1817; between 1821 and 182G; 1831, 1888 ] 3. The President may vote on all questions. (4.) [1826.] 4. The President may appoint a member to perform the duties of the chair for a period not exceeding three days at any one time. (7.) [1831; 1862; 1865; 1888.] 5. In case of a vacancy in the office of President, or in case the President, or the member appointed by him to perform the duties of the chair, is absent at the hour to which the Senate stands ad­ journed, the eldest senior member present shall call the Senate to order, and shall preside until a President, or a President pro tempore, is elected by ballot, and such election shall be the first business in order. (8.) [1831; 1885; 1888.]

C l e r k . 6. The Clerk shall keep a journal of the proceedings of the Sen­ ate, and shall cause the same to be printed daily. (11.) Pie shall, in the journal, make note of all questions of order, and enter at length the decisions thereon. He shall insert in an appendix to the journal the rules of the Senate and the joint rules of the two branches. (12.) [1882; 1888.] 7: The Clerk shall prepare and cause to be printed each day a calendar of matters in order for consideration; and shall include on Mondays and on such other days as he shall deem necessary a list of matters lying 011 the table; and such other memoranda as he may deem necessary, and as the Senate or the President may direct. (13.) [1882; 18S8; 1945.] 8. The Clerk shall retain bills and other papers, in reference to which any member has a right to move a reconsideration (except petitions, bills and resolves introduced on leave, orders, reports of committees asking to be discharged from the further consideration of a subject, matters which have been recommitted under Joint Rule 5 and engrossed bills and resolves) until the right of recon­ sideration has expired; provided, that the operation of this rule shall be suspended during the last week of the session. (15, 57.) [1855; 1856; 1875; 1882; 1885; 1888; 1891; 1919; 1921; 1943; 1946.] 9. When a bill or resolve coming from the other branch does not appear in print in the form in which it was passed in that branch, the Clerk shall either indicate the amendments on the Orders of the Day, or shall have the bill or resolve reprinted, at his discretion. [1882.]

M e m b e r s o f t h e S e n a t e . 10. No member shall be permitted to act on a committee or to vote upon a question in which his private right, distinct from the public interest, is immediately concerned. (24, 63.) [1855; 1888; 1889.] 11. No member shall absent himself from the Senate without leave, unless there is a quorum without his presence. (17.) [1817.]

When a motion to strike out and insert is thus divided, the failure of the motion to strike out shall not preclude amendment; or, if the motion to strike out prevails, the matter proposed to be in­ serted shall be open to amendment before the question is taken on inserting it. (91.) [1817; 1841; 1888.] 46. When a question is under debate the President shall receive no motion that does not relate to the same, except a motion to adjourn or some other motion which has precedence by express rule of the Senate, or because it is privileged in its nature; and he shall receive no motion relating to the same except: — (1) To lay on the table; (2) To close debate at a specified time; (3) To postpone to a day certain; (4) To commit (or recommit); (5 ) To amend; (6) To refer to the next annual session; or (7) To postpone indefinitely.
