I had to look this up, not being American, and learned that the American legislative procedure to table a motion is very different from the British parliamentary phrase to table a motion. For Americans, it means to put an indefinite pause on debate, essentially mothballing it. Bringing it back to the floor would require majority as well.
Yeah - it's like when my wife gets a bill in the mail and ends up putting it on the diningroom table because she doesn't want to deal with it. Fortunately I eventually find it and get it paid, even though she tried to table it.
