Ramseyer rule

Read a random definition: admiralty and maritime power

A quick definition of Ramseyer rule:

The Ramseyer Rule is a rule in the U.S. House of Representatives that requires any committee reporting a bill that changes an existing law to show what words the bill would remove or add to the current law. This rule is named after Representative C. William Ramseyer of Iowa, who suggested it. The same rule exists in the U.S. Senate, called the Cordon Rule, named after Senator Guy Cordon of Oregon. Both rules help lawmakers and citizens understand the changes being made to existing laws.

A more thorough explanation:

The Ramseyer rule is a rule in the U.S. House of Representatives that requires any committee reporting a bill that amends legislation in force to show in its report what wording the bill would strike from or insert into the current law. This means that if a committee wants to change an existing law, they have to explain exactly what changes they want to make and how it will affect the current law.

For example, if a committee wants to change a law that says "all dogs must be on a leash in public places," they would have to explain in their report what wording they want to strike from the current law and what new wording they want to insert. They might say something like "we propose striking the words 'on a leash' and inserting the words 'under control' so that the law reads 'all dogs must be under control in public places.'" This way, everyone can see exactly what changes are being made and why.

The Ramseyer rule is named after Representative C. William Ramseyer of Iowa, who proposed it. The U.S. Senate has a similar rule called the Cordon rule, named after Senator Guy Cordon of Oregon.
