one calls for another reading,
the chairman can omit reading them when be thinks they are fully
understood. In reference to the manner of reading and stating the
question, when the resolution contains several paragraphs, see Rules of
Order, Sec. 44.]

some one else says, "I second the motion." The chairman sometimes
directs the secretary to read the resolutions again, after which he
says, "The question is on the adoption of the resolutions just read,"

that the committee will consist of that number; if several numbers are
suggested, he states the different ones and then takes a vote on each,
beginning with the largest, until one number is selected.

the Chair, or the members of the assembly (no member naming more than
one, except by unanimous consent), and then the assembly vote on their
appointment. When the chairman nominates, after stating the names he
puts one question on the entire committee, thus: "As many as are in
