That was never my intent and I do not think it was the intent of anybody else. I personally intended that they could consider any nongermane language that they wanted to. If they wanted to take a simple immigration bill and put in a 20percent social security increase or highway funds or anything nongermane they would have a right to do it and pass the bill and send it back to the House. Then when it came time to consider the bill here. an objection could be made to any Senate amendment which was not germane and a separate vote could be had with 20 minutes debate on the pro side for the amendment and 20 minutes against It. Then a vote on it.
