ARTICLE VI: MOTIONS THAT ARE NOT USED IN ONLINE FORUMS

Call for Division of the Assembly in voting � As all votes in the House are done publicly and can be viewed by any member, this motion is not necessary.

Previous Question/Limit Debate � Suspending debate to take a vote on ending debate early would take longer than simply letting debate run its course, so this motion is moot. If debate has run longer than its specified limit, members should raise a point of order that the debate should be closed.

To Consider a Question a Second Time/To Reconsider � AGS Rules specify that no bill may be considered twice during a session of Congress.

Objection to the Consideration of a Question � Sustaining (or rejecting) consideration of a question would take longer than simply voting the question down, and is therefore unnecessary.

Postpone Indefinitely � AGS Rules prohibit measures from being postponed indefinitely.

Renewal of a Motion � AGS Rules prohibit all instances where this motion would be used.

Ratify � None of the conditions for ratification can occur under AGS Rules.

No Confidence � The Organizing Resolution process and other processes in AGS Rules make this motion unnecessary.

General and Special Orders/Orders of the Day � These motions are meant for assemblies that meet in physical space, and are not useful for a virtual forum like the AGS House.

To Adjourn or Recess � The AGS House does not adjourn or recess.

Dilatory Motions - Presiding officers are empowered to rule any motion that, in the presiding officer's opinion, is introduced solely to obstruct the House's business, or is frivolous or absurd, as dilatory and out of order. Such rulings may be appealed, but once the presiding officer's ruling has been sustained, the he/she is not required to entertain another appeal by the obstructionists.
