Accoring to the article, 'House Majority Leader Steve Montenegro said
Mendez's decision not to pray to God didn't meet House rules he issued
earlier this year for the opening prayer. Speaker David Gowan then said
"point of order well taken".'

If Mendez were Pastararian, he could've prayed to The FSM and that
would've satisfied the "House rules".
