     § 4.  Consideration of bills.
        Every bill shall be considered on three different days in
     each House. All amendments made thereto shall be printed for the
     use of the members before the final vote is taken on the bill
     and before the final vote is taken, upon written request
     addressed to the presiding officer of either House by at least
     25% of the members elected to that House, any bill shall be read
     at length in that House. No bill shall become a law, unless on
     its final passage the vote is taken by yeas and nays, the names
     of the persons voting for and against it are entered on the
     journal, and a majority of the members elected to each House is
     recorded thereon as voting in its favor.
