It's a normal procedure to keep the debate open

If leaders are on the losing side, they frequently change their vote. Only members on the losing side can bring up the bill or amendment for future re-consideration.

This is in Roberts' Rules from the middle of the last century. If your local boards of any kind go by Roberts' Rules, this rule applies to them, also.

Yes, he did. That vote supports his Motion to Reconsider.
