    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mine is to seek direction from the Chair. In answering a Question regarding the two thirds principle yesterday, the Assistant Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs told the House that the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, 2011, that is before the House is the document that will be used when debating the two-thirds principle, yet we are aware that that Bill incorporated two amendments, one of which has already been overtaken by events regarding the elections date. Knowing that the tradition of this House is that we do not amend constitutional (Amendment) Bills, what procedure will the House use in dealing with the Constitutional (Amendment) Bill, 2011, to remove the election date? Should we be allowed to amend, what would be the procedure if an individual wishes to amend the component that is relating to the two-thirds principle? I wish to seek your direction on that."
