KBapps.com - Ancient Books Robert's Rules Of Order ~ 166 | < Last - Next > 166TABLE OF RULES RELATING TO MOTIONS. Explanation of the Table. A Star shows that the rule heading the column in which it stands, applies to the motion opposite to which it is placed: a blank shows that the rule does not apply: a figure shows that the rule only partially applies, the figure referring to the note on the next page showing the limitations. Take, for example, "Lie on the table:" the Table shows that § 19 of the Pocket Manual treats of this motion; that it is "undebatable" and "cannot be amended;" and that an affirmative vote on it (as shown in note 3) "cannot be reconsidered:" -- the four other columns being blank, show that this motion does not "open the main question to debate," that it does not "require a 2/3 vote," that it does "require to be seconded," and that it is not "in order when another member has the floor." The column headed "Requires a two-thirds vote," applies only where the "Pocket Manual of Rules of Order," or similar rules, have been adopted. [See "Two-thirds Vote," on next page, under Miscellaneous Rules.] After the note to the Table is some additional information that a chairman should always have at hand, such as the Order of Precedence of Motions, the Forms Of Putting Certain Questions, etc. In order when another has the floor [§ 2]-------------| Requires no Second [§ 3]-----------| | Requires a 2/3 vote [§ 39]--See Note 1.---------| | | Cannot be Reconsidered [§ 27]-------| | | | Cannot be Amended [§ 23]-----| | | | | Opens Main Question to Debate [§ 35]---| | | | | | Undebatable [§ 35]-| | | | | | | |- Section in Pocket Manual | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 11 Adjourn ............................................. x . x x . . . 10 Adjourn, Fix the Time to which to ................... 2 . . . . . . 23 Amend ............................................... . . . . . . . 23 Amend an Amendment .................................. . . x . . . . 43 Amend the Rules ..................................... . . . . x . . 14 Appeal, relating to indecorum, etc., [6] ............ x . x . . . x 14 Appeal, all other cases ............................. . . x . . . x 14 Call to Order ....................................... x . x . . x x 37 Close Debate, motion to ............................. x . . . x . . 22 Commit .............................................. . x . . . . . 31 Extend the limits of debate, motion to .............. x . . . . . . 10 Fix the Time to which to Adjourn .................... 2 . . . . . . 15 Leave to continue speaking when guilty of indecorum x . x . . . . 19 Lie on the Table .................................... x . x 3 . . . 37 Limit Debate, motion to ............................. x . . . x . . 13 Objection to Consideration of a Question [7] ........ x . x . x x x 13 Orders of the Day, motion for the ................... x . x . . x x 21 Postpone to a certain time .......................... 4 . . . . . . 24 Postpone indefinitely ............................... . x x . . . . 20 Previous Question ................................... x . x . x . . 44 Priority of Business, questions relating to ......... x . . . . . . 16 Reading Papers ...................................... x . x . . . . 27 Reconsider a debatable question ..................... . x x . . . 5 27 Reconsider an undebatable question .................. x . x . . . 5 22 Refer (same as Commit) .............................. . x . . . . . 11 Rise (in Committee equals Adjourn) .................. x . x x . . . 11 Shall the question be discussed?
