Non-Proposition Statement

A Non-Proposition Statement is a statement that does not contain a factual assertion or proposition that can be proven true or false. These statements, such as questions, commands, or exclamations, are not considered hearsay because they are not offered to prove the truth of any content within the statement itself.
