Re: Roberts rules of order
I was curious about this, so I looked it up. I was wrong about a motion to adjourn.
A motion to adjourn is almost always a "privileged" motion, so it can interrupt debate of other motions.
RRoO says:  - it is not applied to any motion, and cannot be applied to (as in, these are not allowed: I move to amend the current motion, and add a motion to adjourn, or I move to amend the motion to adjourn to also approve...)  - it is out of order when another has the floor  - must be seconded  - is not debatable  - is not amendable  - requires a majority vote  - cannot be reconsidered  (from RRoO, 10th edition, p. 228)
... just in case you were curious.
Eric.
