Examples of Subsidiary Motions

Motion to Return to Previous Question

This subsidiary motion comes up again and again in most meetings in which Robert’s Rules, or any rules of order, are used. The motion to return to previous question, if passed, brings the main motion to an immediate vote.

Motion to Amend

Whereby someone moves to alter the main motion on the table. This can be for any number of reasons, though it should be noted that motions to amend are frequently themselves unable to be the subject of motions to amend as the resulting situation can become quite complex. Motions to amend are often used to add or insert words in a paragraph, strike words from a paragraph, or completely substitute one section or proposal for another. Motions to amend should require a second and should only be debatable if the motion that the motion to amend sees to alter is debatable.
