I was at a board meeting yesterday and brought up a topic to discuss. No motions were made and the topic was left on the table for future consideration. A fellow board member wanted to grandstand and force a vote so it could be voted down. So he made a motion to for the subject knowing that he had the numbers to defeat it 4 to 3. My question is since he made the motion for the subject can he then vote against it? There was no additional discussion once the motion was made.
Can you vote against your own motion?
