Grassroots' Campaign - Withdrawing 3 Motions on CFC Fees

[Egidijus Zeromskis]

Ken is correct, once a motion has been properly moved/seconded it can't be "withdrawn" in any fashion other than a) ruled out of order or b) by a vote.

Of course a motion to withdraw a motion made by the mover/seconder would almost always succeed for obvious reasons but that's the rule...

There is the "third" conditional way which was demonstrated by President in the CFC practice:

"Halldor Palsson: I rule: Unless there is an objection I grant Mr. Barron permission to withdraw 2005-13. The comments by Mr. Dixon go into the GL and he or any other Governor may object to the withdrawal of 2005-13. RONR (10th ed.), p.285.]"

Halldor is hardly a good example to use for following Robert's Rules. He once ruled out of order a motion censuring himself.
