Motion to strike (United States Congress)

A motion to strike is an amendment which seeks to delete language from a bill proposed in either the House of Representatives or Senate of the United States Congress, or to delete language from an earlier amendment.

It is one of three types of amendments; the other two are motion to insert, and motion to strike and insert.
