jstackpo Posted April 8, 2014 at 01:12 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 at 01:12 PM No. The chair, to remain impartial, should stay out of the moving business altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted April 8, 2014 at 01:15 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 at 01:15 PM In addition to Dr. Stackpole's remarks, it may not be proper for anyone to make that motion http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#13 If it is being used properly, it can only be moved after the main motion has been moved, seconded, and placed before the assembly by the chair.

Gary Novosielski Posted April 8, 2014 at 02:26 PM Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 at 02:26 PM No. The chair, to remain impartial, should stay out of the moving business altogether. And it is rarely in order for any other member to move to Lay on the Table, so the answer is: rarely. See this faq for details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
