A body is, however, competent, by a vote, to allow debate on all motions.
To Reconsider
A motion to reconsider a motion previously passed must be made by one who voted for the motion when it passed.
If the body votes to reconsider, then the motion or resolution being reconsidered, stands before them as previous to its passage, and may be discussed, adopted, or rejected.
A vote to reconsider should be taken at the same session at which the vote reconsidered was passed, and when there are as many members present.
Be Discussed
If, when a question is introduced, any member objects to its discussion, as foreign, profitless, or contentious, the moderator should at once put the question, “Shall this motion be discussed?” If this question be decided in the negative, the subject must be dismissed.
Order of the Day
The body may decide to take up some definite business at a specified time. That business therefore becomes the order of the day, for that hour. When the time mentioned arrives, the chairman calls the business, or any member may demand it, with or without a vote: and all pending questions are postponed in consequence.
