If the question has been proposed on a motion or an amendment, the motion or amendment may be withdrawn, at the request of the mover, by leave of the

If the question has been proposed on an amendment to a motion or to another amendment, the original motion or amendment may not be withdrawn until the amendment thereto has been disposed of.
