asks the question through the chair, thus, "Mr.
Chairman, I should like to ask the gentleman,"
etc. The reply is made in the same way, as
it is not in order for members to address one
another in the assembly. While each speaker
addresses the chair, the chair remains silent
during the conversation. If the speaker consents to the interruption the time consumed is
taken out of his time.
(''c'') ''Leave to Withdraw or Modify a Motion.''*<ref>* In Congress a motion "may be withdrawn at any time
before a decision or amendment." H. R. Rule 16, §2.
The rule given above, which is in accordance with the
common parliamentary law, is better adapted to ordinary
assemblies.</ref> A request for leave to withdraw a
motion, or a motion to grant such leave, may
be made at any time before voting on the question has commenced, even though the motion
has been amended. It requires no second. It
may be made while incidental or subsidiary
motions are pending, and these motions cease
to be before the assembly when the question
to which they are incidental or subsidiary is
withdrawn. It yields to privileged motions,
and cannot be amended or have any other subsidiary motion applied to it. It is undebatable.
When it is too late to renew it, the motion to
reconsider cannot be withdrawn without unanimous consent. When a motion is withdrawn,
the effect is the same as if it had never been
made. Until a motion is stated by the chairman, the mover may withdraw or modify it<noinclude>
