PARLIAMENTARY PRACTICE
With the above exceptions all votes on Main Motions, and on Questions of Privilege and Orders of the Day that have been acted upon, and on Appeals, may be rescinded without previous notice by a two-thirds vote or by a vote of a majority of the entire membership; or by a majority vote if notice was given at the previous meeting or in the call for this meeting.
But, since "Rescind" is identical with "Amend something already adopted," the rules for amending by-laws, standing rules, etc., apply to the motion to rescind a by-law, a standing rule, etc.
(8) Cannot be Renewed.
Adopt.
Amend.
Appeal.
Fix the Same Time to which to Adjourn.
Objection to Consideration of a Question.
Question of Order.
Reconsider a Question, unless it was materially Amended when previously Reconsidered.
Suspend the Rules for the same Purpose at the same Meeting.
[None of the above motions, except the last one, can be renewed at the same session. As a general rule no motion can be renewed at the same session unless there has been such a change in conditions as to make the question a new one. Thus, to commit a motion after voting on a material amendment is a different question from the one of committing it before voting on the amendment.]
(9) Require a Two-thirds Vote.
Amend, Annul, Repeal or Rescind any part of the Constitution, By-Laws or Rules of Order previously adopted; previous notice is also required.
