{{hwe|cordingly|accordingly}}. The chairman, or the secretary, or
the member who reported it, as the chair decides is for the best interest of the assembly,
then reads the first paragraph, which is explained by the reporting member, after which
the chair asks, "Are there any amendments to
this paragraph?" The paragraph is then open
to debate and amendment. When no further
amendments are proposed to this paragraph,
the chair says, "There being no further amendments to this paragraph the next will be read."
In a similar manner each paragraph in succession is read, explained if necessary, debated,
and amended, the paragraphs being amended
but not adopted. After all the paragraphs
have been amended, the chair says the entire
by-law, or paper, or resolution is open to
amendment, when additional paragraphs may
be inserted and any paragraph may be further
amended. When the paper is satisfactorily
amended, the preamble, if any, is treated the
same way, and then a single vote is taken on
the adoption of the entire paper, report, or
series of resolutions. If the previous question
is ordered on a resolution, or series of resolutions, or on a set of by-laws, before the preamble has been considered it does not apply to
the preamble, unless expressly so stated, because the preamble cannot be considered until
after debate has ceased on the resolutions or
by-laws. It is not necessary to amend the
numbers of the sections, paragraphs, etc., as<noinclude>
