The previous question shall be put in this form: “Shall the main question now be put?” The previous question shall only be admitted when demanded by a majority of the Council members present, and until decided, the previous question shall preclude all other amendments or motions, except a motion to adjourn. If decided in the affirmative, the Chair shall put the question first upon the pending amendments in their order, if there by any, and then upon the main question.
