It lists the action type, the typical wording a member uses, whether the speaker can be interrupted, and whether a second is required. It also states whether the motion can be debated or amended, and identifies the voting threshold needed, including majority and two-thirds requirements. It covers topics like amendments, committee referrals, postponement, ending debate, appeals, recess, adjournment, and privileged questions.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/","Template",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/","General",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/roberts-rules-of-order-cheat-sheet-motion-and-procedure-quick-reference/572402/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/roberts-rules-of-order-cheat-sheet-motion-and-procedure-quick-reference/572402.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":42,"@type":43},"PakDamar76","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-22","2026-10-13",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",8,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What information does the cheat sheet include for each motion?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"It shows the action name, suggested wording, whether it can interrupt the speaker, whether a second is needed, whether it can be debated or amended, and the votes needed.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"When is a two-thirds vote required?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"The sheet marks several two-thirds cases, such as ending debate with the previous question and certain requests like extending allotted time and suspending the rules.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"What are the rules for reconsidering a disposed matter?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"A motion to reconsider must be made during the same meeting, and the reconsidered motion may not be subsequently reconsidered.
