If you mean "Senators are permitted to petition to the President of Aurentina to rearrange the queue to allow a number of bills, include those that have been omnibused, to be voted on at a sooner time", it never said the bills to be voted on in question had to be the ones being petitioned for. So since my motion moved more bills from the Order SIMBEDS Category to be able to be voted on first, it was perfectly legal.
