Agreed. The states do it this way as well. I worked on updating some statutes after a legislative session and it was a nightmare. Many bills conflict with each other. Often, nobody even knows what the latest version of a statute really is. It's a joke.
In some states, such as Georgia, the public can't even read statutes! They have to buy a copy. Pay to know the law to which you are bound. How does that make any sense at all?

- walshemj 14y agoIn theory good parliamentary practice is not to allow conflicting motions and any consequentials should have been worked out beforehand. Also any amendments should be relevant to the original motion - which if applied in the USA would stop a lot of the pork barrel amendments.
