TABLE OF RULES RELATING TO MOTIONS.

Explanation of the Table. A Star shows that the rule heading the column
in which it stands, applies to the motion opposite to which it is
placed: a blank shows that the rule does not apply: a figure shows
that the rule only partially applies, the figure referring to the note
on the next page showing the limitations. Take, for example, "Lie on
the table:" the Table shows that § 19 of the Pocket Manual treats of
this motion; that it is "undebatable" and "cannot be amended;" and that
an affirmative vote on it (as shown in note 3) "cannot be reconsidered:"
-- the four other columns being blank, show that this motion does not
"open the main question to debate," that it does not "require a 2/3
vote," that it does "require to be seconded," and that it is not "in
order when another member has the floor."

The column headed "Requires a two-thirds vote," applies only where the
"Pocket Manual of Rules of Order," or similar rules, have been adopted.
[See "Two-thirds Vote," on next page, under Miscellaneous Rules.]
