The motion to lay on the table can apply to which of the following by itself?

The motion to lay on the table is a privileged motion that allows a body to temporarily set aside another motion in order to address more urgent business. This motion can apply specifically to a main motion by itself because main motions are the primary items of business that require discussion and decision-making within a meeting.

By laying a main motion on the table, the assembly indicates that it wishes to postpone consideration of that motion, allowing for other pressing matters to take precedence. This action does not require a broad range of other motions or discussions; its purpose is to effectively pause the current topic under debate.

In contrast, secondary motions are typically subordinate to main motions, and while they can be set aside, their handling is more complex and would usually involve additional context or related motions. An undebatable appeal and a motion to adjourn serve specific procedural purposes that do not align with the application of the motion to lay on the table, as they do not necessitate a delay in the same way that main motions do.
