parkourninja Posted June 27, 2015 at 03:16 AM Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 at 03:16 AM I recently came across the following test question: 9. The motion to Lay on the Table is a motion that can bea. debated and amended.b. applied to the motion to Limit Debate.c. made when the Previous Question has been made.d. applied to a pending amendment. The correct answer is C which I know is indeed correct. I know RONR says that lay on the table cannot be exclusively applied to another subsidiary motion, it must lay all pending motions and the main motion on the table. Therefore, is that why D and B are incorrect because I know they can be laid on the table along with a pending main motion? Are number D and B implying that the motion to lay on the table can exclusively lay a pending amendment / motion to limit debate on the table which would then be incorrect?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted June 27, 2015 at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 at 03:52 AM I would agree with your thinking. See RONR 11th ed., p. 211, ll. 11-17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkourninja Posted June 27, 2015 at 10:08 AM Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 at 10:08 AM Exactly my thought process. At least I know at least some of these questions are poorly worded or incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
