What are the three forms for making a point of order?

• A. The three forms are "Point of Order!", "I rise to a point of order!", and "I call the member to order!"
• B. The forms are "Point of Privilege", "I move to adjourn", "I rise to a point of order!"
• C. I move to suspend the rules, "Point of Order!", "I call the member to order!"
• D. I move to lay on the table, "Point of Order!", "I rise to a point of order!"

Answer: (A)

Raising a point of order is about calling attention to a procedural rule or its application during the meeting. There are three standard ways this is done:

• A quick, direct interruption with the simple phrase “Point of Order!” to signal something rules-related is happening and needs a ruling.

• A more formal declaration by a member, “I rise to a point of order!” which clearly states a procedural issue is being raised, not a debate on the topic at hand.

• The chair’s corrective call, “I call the member to order!” used to enforce order when someone is not following the rules.

These three cover the different moments a point of order might be invoked: a brief interruption, a formal notice by a member, and an order from the chair to restore decorum.

Other phrases in the choices refer to different concepts or motions, not points of order. For example, “Point of Privilege” deals with a member’s rights, while motions like “I move to adjourn,” “I move to suspend the rules,” or “I move to lay on the table” are separate actions that alter the meeting’s proceeding, not a point of order.
