And if there is a line-up at the microphone, or there is a speakers list, she has to wait until her turn.

RONR (12th ed.) 16:5 "The subsidiary motion for the Previous Question: 3. Is out of order when another has the floor." [i.e. you cannot interrupt someone to make the motion] 16:20 "Calls of “Question!” by members from their seats are not motions for the Previous Question and are disorderly if another member is speaking or seeking recognition."
