Which statement about a point of order is true?

• A. It requires a second.
• B. It is undebatable and unamendable.
• C. It can be reconsidered.
• D. It must be approved by the chair.

Answer: (B)

A point of order is a procedural move used to enforce the meeting’s rules, not to argue about the merits of a motion. Because it concerns applying the rules, it isn’t a matter for debate or amendment—the chair applies the rule and rules on the point. If someone disagrees with the chair’s ruling, they may appeal the decision, and that is when discussion and debate can occur. So the statement that a point of order is undebatable and unamendable accurately reflects its role: a quick, rule-based check handled by the chair unless an appeal changes the outcome. The other options don’t fit because a point of order doesn’t require a second, isn’t about reconsidering a substantive motion in the usual sense, and isn’t something the chair must “approve”—the chair simply rules on it.
