A motion that brings an immediate vote on pending questions, ending debate is known as what?

The term for a motion that brings an immediate vote on pending questions, effectively ending debate, is known as "Question." This motion is often referred to as "calling the question" and is used to expedite the decision-making process within a meeting. When this motion is made and adopted, it signals that the assembly should proceed directly to a vote on the current issue without further discussion. This is particularly useful when discussions become prolonged or when it is clear that members are ready to make a decision.

The other terms do not serve the same function in parliamentary procedure. "Rescind" relates to the cancellation of a previously adopted motion, "Commit" involves referring a matter to a committee for further consideration, and "Main" typically pertains to the principal motion under discussion, which does not directly address voting procedures or cutting off debate. Each of these serves specific roles in meetings but does not fulfill the purpose of bringing an immediate vote on the pending question.
