As a point of order dependent upon the above:

This Point of Order is Contradictory to Rule 6: (a) Any person may submit a
single vote on each Point of Order which can be exactly one of Yea or Nay.
(b) After the end of the first absolute day after the Point of Order reaches
the Public Forum the Point of Order is said to be "Finalized". (c) No vote
shall be recognized as submitted for a Finalized Point of Order. (d) A Point
of Order is said to "to have" all votes that have been recognized as validly
submitted for that Point of Order. (e) If a Finalized Point of Order has
more Yea votes than Nay votes, it is said to be "Selected", otherwise it is
"Discarded". (f) If a selected Point of Order is Dependent on a Discarded
Point of Order, it too is Discarded. (g) If a Selected Point of Order is
Contradictory to another Selected Point of Order, the Point of Order which
has the lesser difference of Yea votes to Nay votes shall be Discarded. (h)
If two Selected Points of Order have equal values of the difference of Yea
notes to Nay votes then the Point of Order reaching the Public Forum prior
to the other shall be Discarded.
