out of control chairperson

[Guest Greg]

One last question. OK may 2 questions.

Is there any specific difference between motions ruled improper and motions ruled out of order?

That being said,

What is the best course of action if a out of control chairperson repeatedly rules motions improper

then refused to acknowledge an appeal of the decision of the chair not allowing a vote on the matter?

Thanks in advance.

Well, refusing to acknowledge an appeal is "out of control," as you say.

Move to suspend the rules and appoint someone else to the chair. (consult with Chris H, before attempting... my copy of the Oklahoma script got lost in the surf )

And here is the script for that.

Elect someone else as chair.

Elect someone else as chair.

If the chair is incorrigible, you may not want to wait until the next scheduled election. Take a look at FAQ#20, and see if that information is helpful:
