Editing Wrecking amendment (section)

==Examples==
*The [[Wyoming House of Representatives]] Committee of the Whole amended House Bill 0085, a proposal to study the state's emergency preparedness, in order to kill the bill. The amendment would have required the state to consider purchasing an aircraft carrier (even though [[Wyoming]] is a landlocked state), purchasing [[fighter jet]]s, establishing a [[military]], initiating a [[Conscription|draft]], and creating a [[currency]]. Also, the creation of a currency would violate the [[Contract Clause#Bills of credit|United States Constitution]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.huffpost.com/entry/wyoming-doomsday-bill-dies_n_1307664|title=Wyoming Doomsday Bill: State Legislators Kill Legislation|author=John Celock|date=February 28, 2012|publisher=[[Huffington Post]]}}</ref>
*The US [[Civil_Rights_Act_of_1964#Women.27s_rights|Civil Rights Act of 1964]] was amended at the last minute by Rep. [[Howard W. Smith]] of Virginia to make "sex" as a protected class alongside race. This was regarded as a wrecking amendment by those who thought that labor unions would oppose this proposal. The author of the Bill claimed otherwise, and the Act ultimately passed with the amendment.
