A quick definition of hostile amendment:

A hostile amendment is a proposed change to a law or rule that is made with the intention of causing harm or opposition. It is a type of amendment that is not made in good faith and is meant to disrupt or sabotage the original proposal. An amendment is a formal revision or addition to a document, and can be made by adding, deleting, or correcting wording. There are different types of amendments, such as those made by a committee or from the floor, and some may be considered friendly if they are supported by the original proposer and not objected to by others. However, a hostile amendment is the opposite of a friendly amendment and is made with negative intentions.

A more thorough explanation:

A hostile amendment is a proposed change to a law or document that is intended to harm or undermine the original purpose or intent. It is called "hostile" because it is not made in good faith and is meant to sabotage the original proposal.

For example, if a bill is proposed to increase funding for public schools, a hostile amendment might be proposed to remove all funding for public schools instead. This amendment is not made to improve the bill, but to defeat it.

Another example of a hostile amendment is when a member of a group proposes a change to a proposal that they do not support, in order to make it less appealing to others and decrease its chances of passing.

These examples illustrate how a hostile amendment is a manipulative tactic used to undermine the original proposal and is not made in good faith.
