parkourninja Posted June 27, 2015 at 02:07 AM Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 at 02:07 AM I recently came across the following test question 25. The subsidiary motion for the Previous Question can be applied to an undebatable motion if a member wanted to a. stop an amendment.b. not allow members to ask questions.c. delete a question asked by a member that is recorded in the minutes of the previous meeting.d. make a motion to allow the assembly to debate it. The correct answer was marked C. Is that really correct? I remember reading in RONR that the previous question can be applied to fix time to which to ajourn to prevent the making of the motion and I can't even remember reading anything that pertained to C.

Hieu H. Huynh Posted June 27, 2015 at 02:37 AM Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 at 02:37 AM The Previous Question could be used for the purpose of stopping amendment (see RONR 11th ed., p. 199, ll. 2-4). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkourninja Posted June 27, 2015 at 02:46 AM Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 at 02:46 AM Does that mean the answer given on the test ( C ) is incorrect and I am correct in thinking the answer is A? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading in RONR that the previous question can be applied to fix time to which to ajourn to prevent the making of the motion and I can't even remember reading anything that pertained to C. The correct answer is obviously A. The Previous Question can be applied to an undebatable motion for the purpose of preventing amendments. The Previous Question is not used to make a correction to the minutes. Do the people who make these tests ever proofread their questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
