Notes To The Table.
(1) This column only applies to assemblies that have adopted these
Rules. If no rules are adopted, a majority vote is sufficient for the
adoption of any motion, except to "suspend the rules," which requires a
unanimous vote. [See Two-thirds Vote, below.]
(2) Undebatable if made when another question is before the assembly.
(3) An affirmative vote on this motion cannot be reconsidered.
(4) Allows of but limited debate upon the propriety of the postponement.
(5) Can be moved and entered on the record when another has the floor,
but cannot interrupt the business then before the assembly; it must be
made on the day the original vote was taken, and by one who voted with
the prevailing side.
(6) An appeal is undebatable only when relating to indecorum, or to
transgressions of the rules of speaking, or to the priority of business,
or when made while the Previous Question is pending. When debatable,
only one speech from each member is permitted.
(7) The objection can only be made when the question is first
introduced, before debate.
MISCELLANEOUS RULES.
Order of Precedence of Motions.
The ordinary motions rank as follows, and any of them (except to amend)
can be made while one of a lower order is pending, but none can
supercede one of a higher order:
To Fix the Time to which to Adjourn.
To Adjourn (when unqualified).
