Guest Barbara Burke Posted February 8, 2012 at 02:20 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 at 02:20 PM I have read Robert's Rules, especially about a club president's duties. My question is "Is a club president allowed to make motions?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Mervosh Posted February 8, 2012 at 02:27 PM Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 at 02:27 PM From FAQ#1 elsewhere on this site "If the president is a member of the voting body, he or she has exactly the same rights and privileges as all other members have, including the right to make motions, to speak in debate, and to vote on all questions. So, in meetings of a small board (where there are not more than about a dozen board members present), and in meetings of a committee, the presiding officer may exercise these rights and privileges as fully as any other member. However, the impartiality required of the presiding officer of any other type of assembly (especially a large one) precludes exercising the rights to make motions or speak in debate while presiding, and also requires refraining from voting except (i) when the vote is by ballot, or (ii) whenever his or her vote will affect the result."
