It provides recommended wording (e.g., “I move that…”, “I move to amend…”, “I move the question…”) alongside what each motion accomplishes, whether it can be amended, and whether it is debatable. The sheet also states if a second is needed and the vote threshold required for passage, including majority, two-thirds, and consensus options. It covers motions such as main motions, amendments, debate closure, corrections, complaints, rule suspension, tabling, points of order, committee referral, and removing items from the table.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/parliamentary-procedure-cheat-sheet-phrase-and-meaning-guide/572781/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/parliamentary-procedure-cheat-sheet-phrase-and-meaning-guide/572781.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Guten tag","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-21","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"What wording should you use for a Main Motion?","Question",{"text":109,"@type":110},"Use: “I move that…”.
