    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 by clause 6 of rule XVI embodies this principle with an
    additional provision as to debate.
