ANSWER:
In impeachment hearings and other debates, the phrase “Strike the last word” means that the member of the house wants five more minutes to finish his speech during the hearing.
EXPLANATION:
- Generally, a member of the House of Representatives is given a total time of 10 minutes for their say on whether they are against or in favor of the going issue.
- Saying that phrase gives the member the power of the amendment to continue his speech for five more minutes.
