[edit] Question
Shouldn't this article say that this motion is used in "legislative bodies" rather than "deliberative assemblies"? Both examples are legislative bodies, and the motion does not exist in any non-legislative parliamentary authority that I am aware of. (In fact it is directly contrary to the procedures in Robert's Rules, which require much more than just a simple motion and majority vote in order to remove an elected officer.)

- This motion can be used when the offending occupant of the chair is not the regular presiding officer of a society, per RONR 10th ed., p. 642. Also, I believe it is used in the corporate world as well. Larry E. Jordan (talk) 03:26, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
