Which motion, covered in the IBEW Constitution, cannot be amended but can be debated?

The motion to reconsider is unique in that it cannot be amended but is open for debate. This reflects the motion's purpose, which is to allow a body to revisit a previously made decision. In parliamentary procedure, the rationale is that the assembly should be able to discuss the merits of the previous action to determine whether it should stand or be altered.

When a motion to reconsider is proposed, members may engage in debate about the previous decision, providing their viewpoints and potentially changing the outcome. However, since the motion itself is simply about revisiting the original vote, it is not subject to amendments. This ensures clarity and maintains the integrity of the original decision-making process while allowing for discussion of its validity.

In contrast, other motions mentioned typically involve either the possibility of amendments or do not allow for debate in the same straightforward manner.
