Script for Point of Order
Point of Order is a motion that helps us remember that leadership of the meeting is not solely the responsibility of the chair. This motion is used when a member feels that proper decorum of debate is not being followed and the chair does not call the person to order. It is also used when a member disagrees with the presiding officer's decision.
