"...such a commonsense way of keeping order..." as Jim Dixon says, there might be similar 'rules' for most meetings, but the expression is not universal.....perhaps because there is no need.

I have watched local broadcast (C-Span TV) where the British Prime Minister answers questions in Parliament, and I get the distinct impression that members are much ...ummm...more 'open' in their comments than in the US Congress. In the 'old' days, behavior in the Senate and House was often raucous and loud (and occasionally a fight or shooting!), but lately, decorum rules, and there is seldom a need for disciplining a member for being 'out of order'.
