Can a member be changed with a violation be tried, found not guilty, and be recharged for the same violations two years later?

Good Afternoon, I have been asked my board if we are able to allow people outside of the requirements for membership to be allowed to join without changing our bylaws. We are a group of Veterans and there are four people that they feel will benefit the organization but they are not Veterans. Could they use Special Rules to bring them before the membership? Thank you,

Thank you so much

Good Afternoon, I have been tasked with trying to find what to do with inconsistent bylaws. Moreover, two articles. In one of our articles referring to membership states "For additions to the membership options listed above, there must be a unanimous vote by the general membership to incorporate a new membership class." and in the final part of our bylaws it states. Proposed changes to the Bylaws of shall be presented in writing to the Executive Board at any monthly scheduled meeting. A vote will be taken to determine if the proposed changes will be presented to the general membership. A simple majority of the members present and voting is required for passage. If approved, the proposed changes will be voted on by the general membership at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Changes require a 2/3 majority of members present for ratification. Do we need to have a unanimous vote for new membership class or are we able to use the 2/3 majority? Thank you, Gunnar
