  1. Our department has adopted Robert's Rules as its guiding procedures and does not have alternatively specified procedures or requirements for changing our department's constitution. In a recent meeting, a motion was brought that would change the department's constitution. Unbeknownst to us, the motion should have required a 2/3 vote to pass, since it was presented to the department ahead of time (if I'm reading RONR correctly). Instead, the chair of the meeting erroneously said that the motion passed with a 6/5/4 (aye/nay/abstain) vote. The motion has not been implemented yet and I'm wondering if there is anything in the rules that would suggest that since the chair declared the motion passed that it has, in fact, passed, even though it clearly didn't have the votes. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. We clearly need to get ourselves up to speed on the rules.
