To adjourn to recess and to raise a question of privilege are examples of what?

Adjourn to recess and to raise a question of privilege are indeed categorized as privileged motions. Privileged motions are a specific type of motion that address matters of immediate urgency or importance, allowing the assembly or body to quickly respond to situations that require attention but are not directly related to the main topic of discussion.

For example, a motion to adjourn is a privileged motion because it allows members to conclude a meeting that may be running long or is no longer relevant. Similarly, a question of privilege pertains to the rights and privileges of the members themselves, ensuring that their ability to participate fully in the meeting is maintained. These motions take precedence over main motions and secondary motions, emphasizing their importance in maintaining the order and decorum of the meeting process.

Other types of motions, such as main motions or secondary motions, do not generally provide the same immediate response or address urgent needs, and tabling motions specifically involve setting aside a main motion for later consideration rather than addressing pressing issues directly.
