    Resolved, That at any time after adoption of this resolution the Speaker

and an opponent, shall not be subject to amendment, and shall not be subject to 
a demand for division of the question in the House or in the Committee of the 
Whole. All points of order against such amendments are waived. At the conclusion 
of consideration of the bill for amendment the Committee shall rise and report 
the bill to the House with such amendments as may have been adopted. Any Member 
may demand a separate vote in the House on any amendment adopted in the 
Committee of the Whole to the bill or to the amendment in the nature of a 
substitute made in order as original text. The previous question shall be 
considered as ordered on the bill and amendments thereto to final passage 
without intervening motion except one motion to recommit with or without 
instructions.
    Sec. 2.  Upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to consider 
in the House the bill (H.R. 1761) to amend title 18, United States Code, to

of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct, and for other purposes. All 
points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. In lieu of the 
amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the Committee on the 
Judiciary now printed in the bill, an amendment in the nature of a substitute 
consisting of the text of Rules Committee Print 115-19 shall be considered as 
adopted. The bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. All points of order 
against provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. The previous question 
shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, and on any further
