Preambulatory Clauses

Pre-ambulatory clauses are similar to an overview of the problem at hand and past actions taken, and may stress particular aspects of a problem which the sponsors of the resolution think should be addressed in the operative clauses. Pre-ambulatory clauses may not be amended except by suspension of the rules or withdrawal and re-introduction of a resolution, and, therefore, ought to be chosen carefully.

Operative Clauses

Operative clauses contain the action of a resolution. Each clause begins with a one- or two-word operative phrase that is underlined and then followed by the remainder of the clause, which is termi¬nated with a semicolon, except for the last operative, which is terminated with a period. Each operative clause is numbered, and may include lettered sub-clauses. Keep in mind that only numbered clauses may be divided in a motion to Divide the Question. The following is a list of operative clauses that could be used to construct a resolution:
