hese words stand as a part of the resolution?" so
that on a tie vote they are struck out.

If the Previous Question is demanded, it is put thus: "Shall the main
question be now put?"

If an Appeal is made from the decision of the Chair, the question is
put thus: "Shall the decision of the Chair stand as the judgment of the
assembly?" [convention, society, etc.] If the Orders of the Day are
called for, the question is put thus: "Will the assembly now proceed to
the Orders of the Day?"

When, upon the introduction of a question, some one objects to its
consideration, the chairman immediately puts the question thus: "Will
the assembly consider it?" or, "Shall the question be considered?" [or
discussed.]

If the vote has been ordered to be taken by yeas and nays, the question
is put in a form similar to the following: "As many as are in favor of
the adoption of these resolutions, will, when their names are called,
answer yes [or aye]--those opposed will answer no."

68. Motions requiring a two-thirds vote.* [See Two-thirds Vote, page
159, and Sec. 39 of Rules of Order.]

All motions that have the effect to make a variation from the
established rules and customs, should require a two-thirds vote for
their adoption. Among these established customs should be regarded the
right of free debate upon the merits of any measure, before the assembly
can be forced to take final action upon it. The following motions would
come under this rule:

To amend or suspend the rules.
To make a special order.
To take up a question out of its proper order.
An objection to the consideration of a question.
The Previous Question, or a motion to limit or close debate.

69. Unfinished Business. When an assembly adjourns, the unfinished
business comes up at the adjourned meeting, if one is held, as the first
business after the reading of the minutes; if there is no adjourned
meeting, the unfinished business comes up immediately before new
business at the next regular meeting, provided the regular meetings are
more frequent than yearly.** [See Rules of Order, Sec. 11, for a fuller
explanation of the effect of an adjournment upon unfinished business,
and the Congressional practice.] If the meetings are only once a
