NRE

"A resignation is a Request to Be Excused from a Duty. It may be withdrawn in the same manner as any motion may be withdrawn - that is to say, BEFORE THE PROPOSED RESIGNATION HAS BEEN PLACED BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY BY THE CHAIR STATING THE QUESTION ON ITS ACCEPTANCE, IT MAY BE WITHDRAWN WITHOUT THE CONSENT OF THE ASSEMBLY, but it may not be withdrawn without permission of the assembly once it has been placed before the assembly for its approval. [RONR (10th ed.), p. 277-80; 283-85.] “ So, how does one 'place a resignation before the assembly' before it can be withdrawn by the person resigning (who happens to be the president?)

thanks; I already have one so will add this question to it

So, how does one 'place a resignation before the assembly' before it can be withdrawn by the person resigning (who happens to be the president?)

I'm sorry; I missed that and yes; I'm going over RONR (12th ed.) 62:2-15. I appreciate your input.

Can you explain this please: "Any motion must be placed before the assembly to be valid. In the case of a presiding officer who refuses to place a properly made motion before the assembly, there are tools to deal with that."

Can you explain the "tools to deal with that" please?

Chapters in this organization only have "Executive Committees"; The Division (state) and General (national) entities have "Executive committees" and separate "Executive Boards". Chapter bylaws state 'the executive committee will meet in the summer at the call of the president.' Then: "The executive committee shall meet at other times as necessary."

The assembly was so flabbergasted by the events that everyone was just glad to leave. VP refused to call a meeting of the executive committee; as an officer, I, and another officer, resorted to 50:21 RONR. This meeting was cancelled as we did not provide sufficient notice. I wonder if our next meeting should begin with "unfinished business". FYI - I have only had my RONR 12th ed. for one week. This is a huge learning experience for me.

Caught in a 'Catch 22' - President orally resigned during a meeting; a motion was made and seconded to "adjourn meeting and continue discussion in executive committee meeting'. President refused to call committee meeting stating "I am no longer president." Does the motion to adjourn have to be placed before the assembly (RONR 4:3) to be valid? In this case, the president was no longer 'functioning' as president.
