Which of the following is not a pertinent fact of Call for Orders of the Day?

• A. A second is required.
• B. It is used to move to the next order of business.
• C. It interrupts current debate.
• D. It is a recognized procedural motion.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that Call for the Orders of the Day is a procedural tool used to enforce the meeting’s agenda and move the assembly forward. When someone calls for the orders of the day, the chair must set the current discussion aside and proceed to the next item on the schedule. This motion interrupts any ongoing debate and is recognized as a valid procedural step to keep the meeting on track.

Therefore, the statement that a second is required is not a defining feature of this motion. What matters are its effects: it pushes the group to the next ordered business, interrupts debate, and is a recognized procedural motion.
