That's an interesting question. I suspect that the web page scripts
would let you, especially as they were originally only for props, when
there were different kinds of props, but now we have added additional
kinds of motions and usurped this prop system to do it.

I'm not sure whether the *rules* would let you, however. r2-6 says
that "When a Motion is Pending, the object that submitted it may
revise it by resubmitting it." While I don't think that that's the
intent, one could argue that it gives you the authority to revise the
Motion to be any other kind of motion. (That is, it gives you the
power to submit any kind of Motion. Or perhaps, even a generic Motion
that isn't one of the existing subtypes, although that wouldn't be as
useful as it may never Resolve.)

If that were the case, then I can see potential for a lot of abuse by
submitting, say a Tweak, and then amending it to be a proposal through
r2-6's power, and thus nobody would have a proposal cap. There may
even be weirder and/or more broken possibilities.

I may have to try some.
