Rules of debate.
Should two or more members rise to speak the same time, the Chair shall decide which shall be entitled to the floor.
No member shall, disturb another in his speech, unless to call him to order for words spoken.
If a member, while speaking, shall be called to order, at the request of the Chair he shall cease speaking, and take his seat until the question of order is determined, when, if permitted, he may again proceed.
No member shall speak more than once on the same question, until all the members wishing to speak shall have had an opportunity to do so, nor more than twice without permission of the Chair. But no member shall have the privilege of speaking more than once on a question of order, after appeal from the decision of the Chair.
