MOTION TO RECONSIDER.

See Rule XXXVI.

If the question to be reconsidered is debatable, the motion
opens the whole question to debate; but if the question is
undebatable, the motion to reconsider it undebatable. The
vote on a motion to reconsider cannot be reconsidered. A
motion to reconsider a vote on an undebatable question is in
order when another has the floor, but cannot bo then con-
sidered. It takes precedence of all other motions except to
adjourn or to go into Executive Session. The effect of the
motion to reconsider is to suspend the original proposition;
but should the Senate finally adjourn with this motion pend-
ing upon any bill or other measure, it leaves the original
proposition operative. A motion to reconsider having once
been put and decided, it is not in order to repeat the motion
unless the original proposition has been amended since the
first motion. When a motion to reconsider prevails, the
question immediately recurs upon the question reconsidered.
A vote on a vetoed bill, and a vote on a motion to suspend
the rules, cannot be reconsidered.

MOTION TO RECONSIDER AND LAY ON THE TABLE.

This motion is usually made after the final vote determin-
ing any measure, though it may be made after each vote at
any stage of the measure. The motion is put in the follow-
ing form: "That the vote last taken be reconsidered, and
that the motion to reconsider be laid on the table." This
motion having been decided in the affirmative, no reconsider-
ation can take place. The motion is not debatable and cannot
be amended.

MOTION TO STRIKE OUT AND INSERT.
(See Rule XXXV.)

CALL OF THE SENATE.
(See Rule XI.)
