	Rules of order - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rules of order, also known as standing orders or rules of procedure, are the written rules of parliamentary procedure adopted by a deliberative assembly, which detail the processes used by the body to make decisions.
		Rules of order consist of rules written by the body itself, but also usually supplemented by a published parliamentary authority adopted by the body.
		Typically, national, state, and other full-scale legislative assemblies have extensive internally written rules of order, whereas non-legislative bodies write and adopt a limited set of specific rules as the need arises.

		An appeal from a ruling of the Chair is not debatable except that it is customary for both the appellant and the Chair, in that order, to be given an opportunity to explain the reasons for their decisions.
		Sometimes bylaws, rules of procedure or the meeting itself may instruct that members debating be limited to the time allotted, or the Chair may suggest (with the approval of the meeting) that each speaker be given a fixed amount of time and the number of speakers be limited.
		The Chair's decision is subject only to an appeal from the ruling of the Chair and in cases where the Chair is stating the content of Bylaws, Rules of Order, Regulations or the Constitution, etc. which are fact, no appeal is permitted.

	Robert's Rules of Order Revised - I
		It is out of order to be standing when another has the floor, and the one guilty of this violation of the rules cannot claim he rose first, as he did not rise after the floor had been yielded.
		But he may combine the motion to suspend the rules with the motion for whose adoption it was made; and the motion to reconsider a resolution and its amendments; and a member may offer a resolution and at the same time move to make it a special order for a specified time.
		Motions, as a general rule, require for their adoption only a majority vote -- that is, a majority of the votes cast, a quorum being present; but motions to suppress or limit debate, or to prevent the consideration of a question, or, without notice to rescind action previously taken, require a two-thirds vote [48].
