Which of the following is a valid amendment to Postpone Definitely?

• A. Change the time
• B. Make postponed question a special order
• C. Both change the time and make it a special order
• D. Neither

Answer: (B)

Postpone Definitely is a subsidiary motion used to delay action on a main motion to a definite future time. It can be amended to alter how the postponement is scheduled. Converting the postponement into a Special Order is a valid amendment because it changes the way the item is scheduled on the agenda—placing it as a Special Order gives it a defined time and priority for consideration, rather than just postponing to a later moment. That kind of amendment is a standard way to adjust how the matter will be treated in the agenda flow. While changing the time is also a possible adjustment in some contexts, the option that explicitly converts the postponement into a Special Order reflects a recognized amendment to the way the postponement is handled, which is why it’s the best choice.
