§ 89 subsidiary motion applied to it, but if the question is postponed, tabled or referred to a committee it loses its right of precedence. After the question of privilege have been disposed of the assembly resumes the business interrupted by the question and the member speaking at the time of interruption, if any, is entitled to the floor.  

89. Orders of the day are questions that have been by vote of the assembly assigned to a certain day or hour, and are thereby made privileged questions for that day, or hour; therefore, when that time arrives they take precedence of all other questions except questions of privilege and adjournment, and of all other business except reading and approval of the minutes, together with all subsidiary and incidental questions connected with them. But the orders for the day cannot be taken up before the assigned time, except under “suspension of the rules (130)” for that purpose.
