Guest Ben Posted April 25, 2012 at 01:20 AM Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 at 01:20 AM Where can I locate the motions chart? I've been asked to print it off but I can't find it anywhere. I already understand motions but I need this chart. Hope you can help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted April 25, 2012 at 01:28 AM Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 at 01:28 AM Look at the tinted pages at the back of RONR (right after the section on discipline). You will find close to 50 pages of charts, tables, and lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Harrison Posted April 29, 2012 at 02:53 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 at 02:53 PM Yes....Assuming that the Chair is a member of the body which is meeting (or if a nonmember the rules are suspended to permit him to do so). However, there might be some limitations on when the Chair should exercise his rights of membership. See FAQ #1 for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vangorpd Posted April 29, 2012 at 11:05 PM Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 at 11:05 PM While discussing a motion (with two parts) that was properly introduced and seconded, a member amended the motion asking it to be split and voted on each part separately. The amendment was seconded. Another member objected with this "violation of RR because it would effectively place two motions on the floor simultaneously" which was not possible. Was the amendment proper ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the amendment proper ?A motion to divide the question is not an amendment, but there is such a motion. It certainly is not a violation of RONR to properly divide a divisible question; otherwise, the entire section 27 would be in big trouble. (BTW, next time you have a new question, please post it as a new topic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted May 1, 2012 at 02:54 AM Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 at 02:54 AM While discussing a motion (with two parts) that was properly introduced and seconded, a member amended the motion asking it to be split and voted on each part separately. The amendment was seconded. Another member objected with this "violation of RR because it would effectively place two motions on the floor simultaneously" which was not possible. Was the amendment proper ?Well, no, not as an amendment--it would be a motion to divide the question. And it's perfectly proper as long as the two (or more) portions of the original single motion actually would make sense if considered separately. It doesn't place two motions on the floor at once, because the motions are then considered one after the other, not at the same time, and it certainly doesn't violate RONR. If a majority agrees to divide the question, that's all that's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted May 1, 2012 at 10:22 AM Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 at 10:22 AM ...If a majority agrees to divide the question, that's all that's needed.And, in some circumstances, if a single member demands the division of a motion, that's all that's needed (pp. 274-275).
