A Postpone Definitely motion can be amended by converting the matter into a Special Order. When you amend it this way, you’re changing how the item will be treated on the agenda: instead of simply delaying to a specific time, the matter is placed on the calendar as a Special Order, giving it scheduled consideration at a designated time and typically giving it priority on the agenda. This is a recognized amendment because it alters the status and handling of the item rather than just moving its time. While changing the postponement to a different time is possible in general, the standout amendment here is to make the postponed question a Special Order, which directly changes its procedural treatment. Combining both changes in a single amendment isn’t the standard approach, as amendments to a motion are typically one change at a time.
