Which statement is NOT a pertinent fact about the motion to Take from the Table?

• A. It can only be reconsidered by a two-thirds vote.
• B. It can be reconsidered by a majority vote.
• C. It is used to resume consideration of a previously tabled item.
• D. It requires notice before being moved.

Answer: (A)

Take from the Table is the motion you use to bring a previously tabbed item back into discussion. The key point is that this motion is decided by a majority vote, not by a two-thirds vote. You don’t need to give notice to move it in most situations. So the statement claiming it can only be reconsidered by a two-thirds vote is not accurate, making it the not-pertinent fact. The other descriptions align with the motion’s purpose (to resume consideration), and its usual voting requirement (majority), with no notice typically needed.
