10. Nor can these motions interrupt or supersede each other; only that a motion to adjourn is always in order, except while a member has the floor, or a question is being taken, and in some bodies even then.
Amendments
1. Amendments to resolutions may be made in three ways: By omitting, by adding, or by substituting words or sentences.
2. An amendment to an amendment may be made, but is seldom necessary, and should be avoided.
3. No amendment should be made which essentially changes the meaning or design of the original resolution.
4. But a substitute may be offered, which may change entirely the meaning of the resolution under debate.
5. The amendment must first be discussed and acted on, and then the original resolution as amended.
Speaking
1. Any member desiring to speak on a question should rise in his place and address the moderator, confine his remarks to the question, and avoid all unkind and disrespectful language.
2. A speaker using improper language, introducing improper subjects, or otherwise out of order, should be called to order by the chairman, or any member, and must either conform to the regulations of the body, or take his seat.
