The Senate in Action

A motion gives the group something to react to and act on so that there can be a final decision. • To make a motion, a member says, "I move that ____. " • A second is required and indicates that at least two people feel that the proposal merits consideration. If a second is not given, the item is not discussed, simply because it doesn't have enough support to be considered. • To second a motion, a member says, "I second that motion. “ or simply “Second”
