Rising vote to cut off debate

Any and all moves to limit or cut off the right of the minority to present its case requires a two-thirds vote. Any move to deny the minority this right by a majority vote—e.g. Motion “to Table”— is by definition, out of order.

Furthermore, all two-thirds votes are expected to be taken by a rising (standing) vote (RONR, 10th, P.395, L.30). The main reason for this is accuracy, but a subtext could be that those who want to deny the minority the right to present their case should stand and identify themselves.

This last point is certainly in accord with the spirit of Robert’s Rules of Order.
