Journal, and a subject out of which a question of order may
arise, where the appeal is laid upon the table, thereby sus-
taining the decision of the Chair; and a bill or other proposition
where the motion to reconsider a vote thereon is laid on the
table. This motion may be repeated at every new stage of
a bill or proposition, and upon any proceeding having been
had touching its merits.

TO POSTPONE INDEFINITELY.
See Rule XXVIII).

Takes precedence of all other motions except to adjourn,
to go into Executive Session, and to lay on the table; opens
the whole question to debate. The motion cannot be
amended. When a question has been postponed indefinitely
the same cannot be acted upon again, during the session, the
effect of the motion being to adjourn the subject sine die.
This motion cannot be made but once on the same day and
at the same stage of the question.

TO POSTPONE TO A CERTAIN DAY.

This motion follows in order of precedence after the motion
to indefinitely postpone, and permits of only limited debate
upon the propriety of postponement; may be amended; can
be reconsidered.

TO COMMIT.

Follows in order of precedence after the motion to postpone.
Its equivalent in the Senate is the motion to refer. It opens
the whole question to debate; may be amended by the addi-
tion of instructions, or by striking out one committee and
inserting another; can be reconsidered.

TO RECOMMIT.

Is next in order of precedence; has the same force and
effect of motion to commit, except that it cannot be amended
by the substitution of any other committee than the one from
which it was reported.
