I just thought I would pop in to say a couple things about the rules that might help.  One is that the part about resolutions on procedure being one of the purposes of this thread was intended to mean that they could happen here at any time.  And another thing is that the Speaker is given pretty wide discretion on how to organize the functions of the legislature, which would include prioritizing emergency legislation, etc.  At least that's how it was intended.  Apparently they weren't nearly as good as I hoped.  Tongue

When I was speaker the first time I had much more latitude. Your rules changes tightened things up quite a bit.

You can't make changes to what doesn't exist.  Smiley

And:

3. The Speaker of the Legislature shall be the sole member of the body authorized to organize the functions of the Legislature, including opening and closing votes, allowing for debate and amendments, and other functions as deemed necessary by the Speaker.
