t up at that meeting.

In general no motion (except to adjourn) that has been once acted upon,
can again be considered during the same session, except by a motion to
reconsider. [The motion to adjourn can be renewed if there has been
progress in business or debate, and it cannot be reconsidered.] But this
rule does not prevent the renewal of any of the motions mentioned in Sec.
64, provided the question before the assembly has in any way changed;
for in this case, while the motions are nominally the same, they are in
fact different.* [Thus to move to postpone a resolution is a different
question from moving to postpone it after it has been amended. A motion
to suspend the rules for a certain purpose cannot be renewed at the same
meeting, but can be at an adjourned meeting. A call for the orders of
the day that has been negatived, cannot be renewed while the question
then before the assembly is still under consideration. See Rules of
Order, Sec. 27, for many peculiarities of this motion.]

61. Order and Rules. (a) Orders of the Day. Sometimes an assembly
decides that certain questions shall be considered at a particular time,
and when that time arrives those questions constitute what is termed the
"orders of the day," and if any member "calls for the orders of the
day," as it requires no second, the

chairman immediately puts the question, thus: "Will the assembly now
proceed to the orders of the day?" If carried, the subject under
consideration is laid aside, and the questions appointed for that time
are taken up in their order. When the time arrives, the chairman may
state that fact, and put the above question without waiting for a
motion. If the motion fails, the call for the orders of the day cannot
be renewed till the subject then before the assembly is disposed of.*
[In Congress, a member entitled to the floor cannot be interrupted by a
call for the orders of the day. In an ordinary assembly, the most
common case where orders of the day are decided upon is where it is
necessary to make a programme for the session. When the hour arrives
for the consideration of any subject on the programme, these rules
permit any member to call for the orders of the day (as described in
Rules of Order, Sec. 2) even though another person has the floor. If this
were not permitted, it would often be impossible to carry out the
programme, though wi
