should be voted upon in the order announced, until one receives a vote
sufficient for an election.

26. Renewal of a Motion. When any Principal Question [§ 6] or
Amendment has been once acted upon by the assembly, it cannot be taken
up again at the same session [§ 42] except by a motion to Reconsider [§
27]. The motion to Adjourn can be renewed if there has been progress in
debate, or any business transacted. As a general rule the introduction
of any motion that alters the state of affairs makes it admissible to
renew any Privileged or Incidental motion (excepting Suspension of the
Rules as provided in § 18), or Subsidiary motion (excepting an
amendment), as in such a case the real question before the assembly is a
different one.

To illustrate: a motion that a question lie on the table having failed,
suppose afterwards it be moved to refer the matter to a committee, it is
now in order to move again that the subject lie on the table; but such a
motion would not be in order, if it were not made till after the failure
of the motion to commit, as

the question then resumes its previous condition.

When a subject has been referred to a committee which reports at the
same meeting, the matter stands before the assembly as if it had been
introduced for the first time. A motion which has been withdrawn has
not been acted upon, and therefore can be renewed.
