A150 Amending the motion to suspend the HOD rules of order
A motion to suspend the rules serves multiple purposes during the Convention. One use is to adjust the limits on debate, allowing for extensions or restrictions on discussions. When the motion is made for that purpose, debate should be limited to avoid taking an extended period of debate on how long the debate should take. Debating on how long to debate can take an extended amount of time from the actual debate on the floor.
