                               SEC. XLII.--TITLES.

    Sec. 512. Amendments to the title of a bill.

      After the  bill
    has passed, and not before, the title may be amended, and is to be fixed
    by a question; and the bill is then sent to the other House.

      The House of Representatives by rule XIX embodies this principle with
    an additional provision as to debate.
