McLain & Lankford Spike Rule 5 (the takeover Rule Change)

Other Rules Tabled by a Three to One Margin
 
A major victory was seeing the dastardly rule changes go down in flames at the convention. Rule 5, the Lankford/Pollard/McLain supported question wasn't even brought up for a vote, it was as if it had disappeared between Sunday night and Saturday morning. The rest of the rules were bundled up in a Motion to Table, with the motion passing 297 to 86. Rules 13, 14, 17, and 18 were bundled up, without a whisper about the remaining rule changes or motions.
