Why not?In fact someone could have moved to amend the first motion to strike A and insert B.But there's nothing wrong with either method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governing rule would be that an assembly cannot be asked to decide the same, or substantially the same, question twice during one session.
