Thanks so much to all of you. I will present this perspective to our chair. I'll let you know how things turn out. Is there any possible interpretation where the executive body could be considered out of existence under any reading of Robert's Rules?

Thanks for your response, Josh. A majority shall constitute a quorum for regular and special sessions of the executive body. There are now only two members left of the executive body.

An organization's constitution stipulates that an executive body must be composed of five members. One executive body member gets Alzheimers and cannot serve. Two quit and leave the organization. One of the two remaining members offers a motion to amend the constitution on an interim basis to stipulate that the body should be composed of at least two and up to five members. The chair, who has no vote but a voice on the executive body, rejects the motion based on another section of the constitution, which stipulates that only the executive body or the national membership can amend the constitution, and only the executive body can call for a convention. The chair maintains that since the executive body has fallen below the constitutional membership requirement, it no longer exists. How can this conundrum be resolved? Thanks to you all, Puzzled in California
