consider a provision in a bill, joint resolution, motion,
amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report
that increases outlays to modify, or would result in
increased outlays by modifying, the number of Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
(2) Point of Order Sustained.--If a point of order is made
by a Senator against a provision described in paragraph (1 ),
and the point of order is sustained by the Chair, that
provision shall be stricken from the measure and may not be
offered as an amendment from the floor.

conference report on, or an amendment between the Houses in
relation to, a bill or joint resolution, upon a point of
order being made by any Senator pursuant to subsection (a)(l

contained in such conference report or House amendment shall
be stricken, and the Senate shall proceed to consider the

the House amendment with a further amendment, as the case may
be, which further amendment shall consist of only that
portion of the conference report or House amendment, as the
case may be, not so stricken.
Any such motion in the Senate shall be debatable. In any
case in which such point of order is sustained against a
