§ 95 be debated or amended or have any other motion applied to it, nor can an affirmative vote be applied to it, nor can an affirmative vote on it be reconsidered, because if laid on the table the proper motions would be to take it from the table.

It is renewable after an amendment or when there had been such progress in debate or a sufficient lapse of time as to make the motion practically a new one. If decided in the affirmative it takes with it everything adhering to the subject, and carries to the table the motion to commit (104) amendments (106) postponement (102), or any question which may be pending with the following exceptions:

Exceptions to the above rules

a—An amendment to the minutes (21) being laid on the table does not carry the minutes with it.

b—An appeal (124) being laid on the table shows that the assembly approves of the decision; it has only the effect of sustaining the chair and does not carry the original question to the table.
