FFA Conduct of Chapter Meetings Written Practice Test

When a motion is pending, members are limited in what actions they can take to maintain an orderly discussion and decision-making process. Introducing a new main motion while another motion is still under discussion disrupts this order, as it diverts attention from the matter currently being considered. The process of parliamentary procedure requires that only one main motion be considered at a time, ensuring that discussions remain focused and that members have a clear understanding of which issue is being voted on.

In contrast, the other actions mentioned—offering an amendment, calling for a division of the assembly, and raising a Point of Order—are permissible because they relate directly to the motion currently on the floor. Amending a motion can help refine or clarify it, calling for a division of the assembly allows members to request a clearer vote if the initial voting process was unclear, and raising a Point of Order helps maintain procedural integrity by addressing any violations of the rules during the discussion.
