In parliamentary procedure, using Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR), the motion to consider by paragraph (or consider seriatim) is used to consider separately the different parts of a report or long motion consisting of a series of resolutions, paragraphs, articles, or sections that are not totally separate questions.[1] In this way, this motion is distinct from a division of the question, which is used to split a motion into two separate motions, each of which can stand independently if the other fails.
Considering by paragraph or seriatim is the usual method for handling a revision of the bylaws or a lengthy amendment containing several sections.[2]
Each part is considered tentatively and amended as necessary, then the whole motion is considered and voted on as a whole.[3]
