Parliamentary procedure guides also make clear the presiding officer (the Speaker) controls recognition to speak and may direct which member is given the floor, effectively managing transfers of speaking rights between members during debate. By contrast, decorum refers to conduct, crossing the floor to party-switching, and interpellation to formal questioning—none describe this transfer of speaking rights.
