But since this restriction would only have applicability in the context of a meeting (that being nominations from the floor), would it be in the "nature of a rule of order" and thus able to be suspended?

Gary Novosielski Posted March 27, 2012 at 05:37 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 at 05:37 PM Can the Standing Rules state that a Past Department President of an organization cannot be nominated from the floor for the District President again?Maybe, though it wouldn't be a standing rule, but rather a special rule of order. And even though not nominated, nothing would prevent him from being elected anyway. If you really want an effective term limit, it will have to be in your bylaws.

David A Foulkes Posted March 27, 2012 at 10:03 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2012 at 10:03 PM Why the title of this thread:"Discrimination"?I took it to mean the Past Presidents were being discriminated against in that they, and only they, could not be nominated from the floor.
