What motion would you use to end a discussion and vote?

The motion to "Previous Question" is used to end discussion on a pending motion and bring it to an immediate vote. This motion is particularly effective when members feel that further debate is unnecessary or that the discussion has reached a conclusion. By calling for the "Previous Question," a member can effectively halt the ongoing dialogue and ensure that a decision is made promptly.

In parliamentary procedure, this motion requires a second and typically needs a two-thirds majority to pass. If successful, it limits further discussion, allowing members to focus on making a decision rather than prolonging the debate. This is essential for maintaining the efficiency and order of chapter meetings.

Other options serve different purposes: "Postpone Indefinitely" is used to effectively kill a motion without a direct vote on its merits, while "Close the Meeting" terminates the entire meeting rather than just the discussion on a particular motion. The motion to "Amend" is intended to alter a motion currently under consideration, not to conclude discussion on it. Each of these alternatives has its own specific function, which is why "Previous Question" stands out as the correct choice for ending discussion and moving to a vote.
