Privileged and incidental motions as they relates to rules of the house and Jefferson's Manual

[edit]

I would love to see this be added to the article, especially given the recent squabble about the motion to recess and denials of appeals to the chair during Trey Gowdy's questioning of Peter Strzok 73.78.133.65 (talk) 05:25, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The world is larger than the US

[edit]

The first line of this article is very specific to a single country representing only a small fraction of the world, yet almost all countries in the world have parliaments. Worse yet, it does not even mention that it is specific to that country. Therefore, I have added the {{globalize}} tag. --Gerrit CUTEDH 08:41, 20 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I made some edits, and deliberately listed some other procedural authorities. References and metions were already included for multiple non-US legislative bodies. Being as motions in parliamentary procedure are a very basic concept overall, and fundamental to parliamentary procedure worldwide, I don't think we need to go into specifics of definitions of "motion" from each set of rules of order. I hope my edits have met what you were intending with the globalize hat. Trumblej1986 (talk) 21:22, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
