Guest Parliamentarian Posted October 4, 2011 at 06:50 PM Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 at 06:50 PM If the President vetoes a committee created because it does not have enough members on it, and the board would like to override this with the 2/3 majoirty vote when is it brought up? New business? Unfinished business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Ed Posted October 4, 2011 at 07:16 PM Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 at 07:16 PM The President does not have a veto unless the By-laws state that he/she does. And the By-law would have to allow for the Board to overrule the veto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ParliamentarianPam Posted October 4, 2011 at 07:53 PM Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 at 07:53 PM The President according to our constitution and bylaws have the power of veto, and our bylaws allow for the board to overrule the veto, I was just unsure as to when something like this would be brought up, under new business or unfinished business?

dglynch Posted October 4, 2011 at 11:48 PM Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 at 11:48 PM Robert's Rules of Order is totally silent on this, as your organization has a very unusual rule that is simply not covered anywhere.If I had to guess, a motion to override the president's veto would be an incidental main motion and would normally be in order during new business. I can think of some other interpretations as well, though it is certainly not unfinished business in the sense that we understand based on Robert's Rules.In sum, your organization will need to decide all this for itself.

Guest Gary c Tesser Posted October 5, 2011 at 04:23 PM Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 at 04:23 PM If the announcement of the veto is part of the president's report(item 2 on p. 25 in RONR, 10th Edition, which was the latest edition anyone on Earth had until a couple weeks ago, and now look), I have argued (and been shot down) that the motion to override the veto arises from the report, and can be brought up then (p. 345 in the unjustly newly-reviled 10th Edition). Similarly, if the committee reports (during committee reports) that it has been vetoed, you can try the overriding then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
