From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A call for the orders of the day, in parliamentary procedure, is a motion to require a deliberative assembly to conform to its agenda or order of business.^[1]

[edit] Explanation and Use

Call for the orders of the day (RONR)

Second	No
Debatable	No

[edit] Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR)

The "call" may be made by one member, and does not require a second. The chair must then proceed to the scheduled item of business, unless the assembly decides otherwise by a two-thirds vote.

[edit] The Standard Code

This motion is not recognized under The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure, which calls it "quaint" and "often puzzling to many in the assembly."^[2] The Standard Code instead suggests that a member simply request that the body take up the scheduled item of business, or make a more formal point of order.
