Point of Order on a Point of Order

And a Point of Order that the maker of the motion is not a member is not incidental to the ruling/appeal that the motion violates the constitution. Is that it?

The Point of Order that the maker of the main motion is not a member is not a point of order arising out of the appeal which is immediately pending. As a consequence, it does not take precedence over the pending appeal (p. 247, ll. 13-14), and the pending appeal does not yield to it (p. 256, ll. 15-16).

Yeah, that's it. :)

Okay, what if the order is reverse.

Person #1 makes a motion, Motion Z. A point of order is raised that Person #1 is not a member capable of making Motion Z. The chair rules and his decision is appealed (the bylaws are ambiguous in this regard).

As the appear is pending, a point of order is raise that Motion Z, if adopted, would violate the bylaws and that no one can make the motion. Can the chair rule the point of order well taken.

Once that point of order/appeal was decided (assuming the Person #1 could make the motion), could there then be a second Point of Order that Motion Z violated the bylaws?
