George Mervosh Posted April 16, 2015 at 05:03 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 at 05:03 PM I don't think this is very advanced but it has me wondering, at least. The book notes a point of order cannot be reconsidered (SDC #8) p. 249. Does this mean that if the point is submitted to a vote of the assembly they cannot reconsider their vote within the proper time limits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted April 16, 2015 at 05:16 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 at 05:16 PM Sure looks that way. It's hard to see how the language could be less ambiguous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted April 16, 2015 at 05:17 PM Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 at 05:17 PM I would argue that the assembly's decision could be Reconsidered because it seems to me that RONR suggests that the rules for a Point of Order submitted to the assembly are mostly the same as an Appeal (SDC #5) and Appeals can be Reconsidered (SDC # 8). Just for laughs I would also cite Principle of Interpretation #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that if the point is submitted to a vote of the assembly they cannot reconsider their vote within the proper time limits? I haven't found any specific statement in RONR about this (after a five minute search), but I think the answer is clearly yes, the assembly's decision on a point of order can be reconsidered.
