§ 24] notice, and a two-thirds vote for its adoption [see § 45].

[For amending reports of Committees and propositions containing several paragraphs, see § 44; for the proper form of stating the question on an amendment, see § 65.]

The following motions cannot be amended:

This motion takes precedence of nothing except the Principal Question [§ 6], and yields to any Privileged [§ 9], Incidental [§ 8] or Subsidiary [§ 7] Motion, except to Amend. It cannot be amended; it opens to debate the entire question which it is proposed to postpone. Its effect is to entirely remove the question from before the assembly for that session [§ 42]. The Previous Question [§ 20], if ordered when this motion is pending, applies only to it without affecting the main question.
