For the Orders of the Day [§ 13], and questions relating to the
priority of business.

or when simply relating to indecorum or transgressions of the rules of
speaking, or to the priority of business.
Objection to the Consideration of a Question [§ 15].

=== Page 69 ============================================================

Questions relating to Reading of Papers [§ 16], or Withdrawing a
Motion [§ 17], or Suspending the Rules [§ 18], or extending the limits
of debate [§ 34], or limiting or closing debate, or granting leave to
continue his speech to one who has been guilty of indecorum in debate
[§ 36].
To Lie on the Table or to Take from the Table [§ 19].
The Previous Question [§ 20].
To Reconsider [§ 26] a question which is itself undebatable.

The motion to Postpone to a certain time [§ 21] allows of but very
limited debate, which must be confined to the propriety of the
postponement; but to Reconsider a debatable question [§ 26], or to
Commit [§ 22], or Indefinitely Postpone [§ 24], opens the main question
[§ 6] to debate. To Amend [§ 23] opens the main question to debate only
so far as it is necessarily involved in the amendment.

The distinction between debate and making suggestions or asking a
question, should always be kept in view, and when the latter will
assist the assembly in determining the question, is allowed to a
limited extent, even though the question before the assembly is
undebatable.
