3. Dissolution: End the session and the legislature itself, requiring a new election to be held.
4. Closure (Guillotine Motion): Forcefully end debate on a specific bill or motion, allowing for an immediate vote.
5. Withdrawal Motion: Pass a motion to withdraw a bill or amendment, effectively ending its consideration.
