How long can a motion be postponed if the club meets weekly on the same day?

• A. One week
• B. Two weeks
• C. One month
• D. Indefinitely

Answer: (A)

Postponing a motion means delaying action to a future meeting date, and that date must be a time the group is actually scheduled to meet. If the club meets weekly on the same day, the next meeting is just one week away. So the longest practical postponement you can set, without specifying a date beyond the next meeting, is one week. The other durations imply skipping multiple weeks, or delaying with no set date at all, which doesn’t align with the club’s weekly cadence and the idea of postponing to a concrete upcoming meeting.
