Asking for amendments on undebatable but amendable motions

[Guest Charles Simpson]

Is there anywhere in Robert's that says the President should ask for amendments on motions that are not debatable but are amendable, i.e. Fix Time or Recess?  Page and line would be helpful.  Thanks

The standard "Are you ready for the question" allows for someone to be recognized for amendments.  The chair probably should ask "For what purpose does the member rise?" to be sure the member isn't going to debate.

[Hieu H. Huynh]

"For a parliamentary motion that is not debatable but is amendable (see list on tinted p. 43), only "Are you ready for the question?" or "Are there any amendments?" are applicable phrases." (RONR 11th ed., p. 38 footnote)
