What is the term for the final adjournment of an assembly meaning 'without day'?

• A. Adjournment sine die
• B. End of session
• C. Final adjournment
• D. Perpetual adjournment

Answer: (A)

Adjournment sine die is the final adjournment meaning there is no date set to reconvene. In parliamentary procedure, this phrase signals that the assembly has finished its business for the moment and no future meeting is scheduled unless a new notice and motions are made to call one. The Latin terms literally mean “without day,” which is why it’s the formal way to close a session permanently or until a new meeting is properly called. Other phrases you might hear aren’t the standard term used in rules of order; they describe the situation but don’t carry the formal designation of ending without a future day.
