Final answer:
The motion to rescind is subordinate to privileged motions, incidental motions, and the motion to lay on the table, as these motions address immediate and more pressing concerns within a meeting.
Step-by-step explanation:
The motion to rescind is a procedural motion used in meetings within organizations such as clubs, corporations, or governments to cancel or repeal a previous action or motion. It is a subsidiary motion, meaning that it comes into play when something else (a main motion) is on the floor. Three subsidiary motions to which the motion to rescind yields are:
- Privileged motions: These motions do not directly relate to the pending question but have urgency and importance that demand immediate action. Examples include motions such as 'Adjourn' or 'Fix the Time to Which to Adjourn.'
- Incidental motions: These arise incidentally and must be decided immediately before business can proceed. Examples include 'Point of Order' and 'Appeal.'
- Motion to lay on the table: This motion sets aside the main motion temporarily when something more urgent has arisen.
All of these motions take precedence over a motion to rescind because they address immediate logistic or procedural needs of a meeting, before dealing with the undoing of a previous decision.
