Summarize Argument
The council president concludes that Smith’s proposal to prohibit bait-and-switch sales tactics doesn’t merit consideration. As support, the president says that Smith used to own an appliance store that used bait-and-switch sales tactics.

This is a source attack. The president doesn’t say anything about the merit of Smith’s proposal; the only support for the president’s conclusion is the fact that Smith used to engage in the behavior that he is now trying to prohibit.
