Explanation
Demeter's Manual notes:
| “ | Whenever a mischievous, arrogant or unscrupulous temporary majority passes undesirable business at a meeting, and the minority does not command enough votes to swing reconsideration and reverse it, if one of the minority who alertly voted with the prevailing side moves to reconsider and enter the objectionable act and it is seconded, this motion then has the effect of automatically restraining execution of the objectionable business until the proposed reconsideration has been acted on at the next meeting, since an adopted question is not considered as having been finally passed if a motion to reconsider it is pending. | ” |
