"I second the Bill, Mr. Speaker! The West Phoenician
Representative has prematurely called for a motion to table and
I ask that her motion not be considered by the House as there
was no proper seconding of said bill before her motion. Thank
you Mr. Speaker."

Eastern Byzantine Empire failed to find that an issue when
earlier on in chambers another bill was quick to be tabled.
There also does not need to be a seconding before it can be
called to table.
The last points of the bill show double standard. The member for
Gondor was around during the last region and they voiced no
issue when a a state had both a Justice hearing the case and
was also a defendant. We ask why was it good thwn but not good
now. Its discrimination

"I call for a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker. Is a second required
for a bill in order to allow the House to consider said main
motion and allow for the legislative process to begin?"

"I-I apologize for my tardiness, I was kept on hold while
contacting my physician." The Speaker read the bill and found it
immaculate, he cleared his throat with a feeble cough, "Their
has been a motion to table this bill, Ayes and Nays p-please."
