Is it debatable or Amendable and does it need to be voted on? The chair simply declares that the meeting shall stand at ease, and the assembly then stands at ease until the chair instructs it to stop doing so or a member objects. Members cannot move for the assembly to stand at ease, but they may move for a recess. Assuming business is pending, a motion for a recess is not debatable, is amendable, and requires a majority vote for adoption. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
