it is the duty of the secretary to make all such
corrections where changes are rendered necessary by amendments.
25. '''Division of the Assembly, and other Motions relating to Voting. ''' ''A Division of the Assembly''*<ref>* See foot note, page 40, for the rule of Congress.</ref> may be called for, without obtaining the floor, at any time after the question
has been put, even after the vote has been announced and another has the floor, provided
the vote was taken viva voce, or by show of
hands, and it is called for before another motion has been made. This call, or motion, is
made by saying, "I call for a division," or "I
doubt the vote," or simply by calling out,
"Division." It does not require a second, and
cannot be debated, or amended, or have any
other subsidiary motion applied to it. As soon
as a division is called for, the chair proceeds
again to take the vote, this time by having the
affirmative rise, and then when they are seated
having the negative rise. While any member
has the right to insist upon a rising vote, or a
division, where there is any question as to the
vote being a true expression of the will of
the assembly, the chair should not permit this
privilege to be abused to the annoyance of the
assembly, by members constantly demanding a
division where there is a full vote and no
question as to which side is in the majority. It
requires a majority vote to order the vote to
be counted, or to be taken by yeas and nays<noinclude>
