Which of the following is true about the reconsideration motion?

The correct answer highlights an important aspect of the reconsideration motion in parliamentary procedure. Specifically, while it is true that a reconsideration motion allows members to bring a previously decided motion back for further review, a critical rule is that only one motion for reconsideration can be made for each motion that has been decided. This prevents repetitive reconsiderations of the same motion, which could lead to confusion and endless debate on the same topic.

The limitation on the number of motions for reconsideration helps maintain order and efficiency in the meetings, ensuring that discussions remain focused and that decisions are respected unless there is a compelling reason to revisit them.

Other options do not align with the rules governing the reconsideration motion. For example, the statement regarding the need for a two-thirds majority is inaccurate; it actually requires a majority vote to pass. Additionally, a motion for reconsideration can only be made by someone who has voted on the prevailing side of the original motion, which means not just anyone in the meeting can make this motion. Lastly, while the motion can be debated, it is typically limited and not intended for extensive debate, which distinguishes it from other motions that may allow for longer discussion.
