It is basically a parliamentary procedure hack. An urgent issue can be tacked on to an existing bill that is already farther along in the process. Streamlines the passage. There is also a bit of game theory going on here, by attaching a must pass item to the bill you can get other less favorable items passed at the same time.

> by attaching a must pass item to the bill you can get other less favorable items passed at the same time. This should not be allowed. Items in a bill should be passed by their own merit, not by the merits of other 'must pass' things they hang off of.

  Ok sure. Now go write a rule that would implement that.

    "It is illegal to add on unrelated regulations to bills" Done. It's easy to write it, the hard part is changing a corrupted system to actually pass it and follow it.
