What phrase must a member use to remove a tabled motion from the table?

The correct phrase to use for removing a tabled motion is "I move that ... be taken from the table." This phrasing is specific to parliamentary procedure and is universally recognized in formal meetings and discussions, particularly in organizations such as DECA.

Using this exact wording clearly indicates to the presiding officer and other members that there is a motion that was previously set aside and is now being brought back for consideration. The direct action implied by "taken from the table" serves to efficiently communicate the intent of the member, ensuring that the process adheres to established procedural norms.

In contrast, other phrases may lack the formal recognition required in parliamentary procedure, potentially leading to confusion or misinterpretation about the intent of the motion. For example, terms like "propose" or "suggest," while they may convey a similar idea, do not carry the same authoritative weight and clarity as "move" in this context. Using the correct terminology ensures that the motion is properly recognized and addressed by the assembly.
