If it is at all feasible, I motion that we suspend voting on the National Symbols Act, the Business and Accountability Act, and the National Retirement and Pensions Act, until after voting on the National Security Act, as it seems the most pressing of all current Acts in the queue.

I believe a proper motion would be "I motion to move the National Security Act to the top of the queue." I'm not making this motion myself, just commenting.

Thank you Senator (I do MUN, so the transition is a little jarring )
In that case I motion to move the National Security Act to the top of the Queue.

Motion for it to happen. I particularly belive my Limiting Legislation Act should be first after the one currently at vote, but it could just be bias. Either that or a hope to give our people standard rights. Could be either.

I motioned it and a couple of people supported it. It's a couple of pages back. But it's been added to the queue now, so I am satisfied.
