    You would not say "I motion"... you would say "I move to..." or "I make a motion...".

    "I move to open debate regarding ..."

    "I make a motion that I author the bill."

    "I move to informally divide the house." (What the heck does THAT mean?

    "I move to invoke personal privilege."

    "I make a motion to xxxxx (discuss, close, revisit?) the previous question."

    "I make motion to adjourn" or "I move to adjourn".
