This phrase is spoken during markups, which are different from hearings. In markups, members are debating the actual written substance of legislation - be it a bill, or (in this case) articles. “Strike the last word” means you’re adding a pro forma amendment & using it to talk. — PolitiTweet.org

@PreetBharara Usual markup debate rules mean that each amendment can only be debated for 10 minutes (5 for & against). “Strike the last word” is the magic spell to talk beyond that. This can create an endless cycle sometimes, bc one side rarely wants to allow the other to get the last word. — PolitiTweet.org
