Gary c Tesser Posted January 18, 2017 at 08:26 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 at 08:26 AM OK, here's FAQ #1. Question 1:Is it true that the president can vote only to break a tie? . at http://www.robertsrules.com/faq.html#1 . Maybe more, if someone else can chime in. I have to go, I have a 3:30 deadline elsewhere, and so does my horse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RONR contains no prohibition on it. Such a prohibition would have to be in your bylaws. It is not uncommon for both positions to be held by the same person. 11 hours ago, Guest Cahela said: Also, do they have voting privileges? If he is a member, yes, he can vote. Members can vote. Non members cannot vote. See FAQ # 1, cited above by Mr. Tesser, regarding when the president votes. Edited to add: Note that the prohibition on voting applies only to the presiding officer. If they are two different people, the one not presiding can vote just like everyone else. Also, pay attention to the distinction mentioned in the answer to FAQ No. 1 about the presiding officer voting in small boards.
