§ 117 present form shall not become a part of the proposition, and having been once acted upon it cannot be renewed as an amendment, but it may be moved to insert the same words with others, provided the said motion presents a new proposition. This is upon the principle that what has been agreed to by an assembly on vote, either adopting or rejecting, becomes the judgment of the assembly and cannot be again brought into question at that session unless the former vote is reconsidered.  

117. If the motion be to strike out certain words and insert other words, said motion is a combination of the other two forms—to strike out, and to insert—and if the motion prevails the words so struck out, or any of them, cannot be again inserted except with other words, or the words so inserted, or any of them, cannot be struck out except with other words.
