Guest passing the gavel Posted July 2, 2017 at 08:30 PM Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 at 08:30 PM so if he doesn't pass the gavel back is it a legal motion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do you mean by passing the gavel back? The Vice President should not pass the gavel to the President, as he made the motion and has therefore shown himself not to be impartial regarding it. The Vice President should pass the gavel to some other member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Brown Posted July 3, 2017 at 03:13 AM Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 at 03:13 AM The vice president should not "pass the gavel" back to the president until the motion has been fully disposed of. The president can resume the chair at that point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
