5. Managing Queues

A fundamental principle of parliamentary debate is that only one person may speak to the current motion at a time. Before a person speaks they must be recognized by the chair or the presiding officer responsible for keeping order.

When emotion is debatable, users will be able to offer motions which will appear at the bottom of the chair's page. The chair presses the allow button on one of the motions to give the user the floor. The chair may also deny the motion if it is out of order. If the motion is not debatable when it is finished, the chair selects another motion from the list and continues. If it is debatable, then a new list is started for users to speak or offer other motions to be considered first.
