Main Motion • The way to get business accomplished • Nothing is determined unless a motion is passed • Main motions require a second and discussion prior to voting • “I MOVE THAT…”
Amendment • Can amend a motion by 3 ways • Add to motion • Delete parts of a motion • Completely change a motion • Amendments require seconds, and discussion prior to voting
Point of Order • Used when you think the chair or someone else is not following Robert’s Rules of Order • Be polite but assertive when the error occurs • “I call a Point of Order” • Does not require a second
Division of the House • Must be called immediately after a voice vote • “I call for a Division of the House” • Does not require a second • Anyone can call for this rule • This requires the Chair/President to take a count vote of the motion/amendment
