13 (b) The previous question shall be stated in the following
14 form: "Shall the main question be put?" Until the previous

16 When it is decided that the main question shall not be put, the
17 main question remains under debate.
18 (c) The effect of the main question being ordered is to put
19 an end to all debate and bring the House to a direct vote on
20 the immediately pending motion. After a motion for the
21 previous question has been approved, it is not in order to move
22 for adjournment or to make any other motion before a decision
23 on the main question.
