Can the President call a Committe Report out of order?

People can be out of order and motions can be out of order but I'm not sure how a report could be out of order (though the making of the report could be).

If, for example, the report contained inappropriate remarks about a member, the member giving the report could be ruled out of order but not, I think, the report itself. It's not like you'd ask the report to leave the room.

Who else?

If the given report is indeed not in order, then indeed, it is the duty of the chair [not the president] to rule it out of order.

That's the job of a good chair -- to make rulings.

Q. Was the report in order, or not in order?
