Guest Kristine Harvey Posted August 28, 2017 at 09:42 PM Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 at 09:42 PM If there is a current motion on the floor, is it ok to have another motion to vote by 2/3 majority? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary c Tesser Posted August 29, 2017 at 03:17 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 at 03:17 PM C'mon, Kristine, meet us halfway here. In the meantime, I'll offer that, when a substantive action (a "main motion") is being considered, there are a number of secondary motions that can be proposed, and dealt with, before dealing with the main motion. Among these would, indeed be a motion to change the threshold for adoption of the main motion from a pure, simple (dare I say, "chaste"?) majority to a 2/3 vote. (This might be covered in ROnR, Section 30, "Methods of Voting and the Straws," or something; but more likely it's Section 25, "Suspend the Rules.")
