"If it is desired to reconsider the vote on a subsidiary or incidental motion (an amendment, for example) after the main question to which it adhered has been finally disposed of (by adoption, rejection, or indefinite postponement), the vote on the main question, or on its indefinite postponement, must also be reconsidered (see also Standard Characteristic 2). In such a case, one motion to Reconsider should be made to cover both the vote on the subsidiary or incidental motion whose reconsideration is desired, and the vote on the main question (or its indefinite postponement). The member who makes this motion to Reconsider must have voted with the prevailing side in the original vote on the subsidiary or incidental motion—that is, on the motion which will be reconsidered first if the reconsideration takes place."

parkourninja Posted June 28, 2016 at 04:26 PM Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 at 04:26 PM Can the member who moves to reconsider such secondary motion not have voted on the prevailing side in deciding the main motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. He must have voted on the prevailing side of the secondary motion though. See, p. 328, ll. 8-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I didn't take your response and bold the applicable portion and add the page and line numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
