Chris Harrison Posted May 14, 2012 at 11:27 PM Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 at 11:27 PM A bylaw provision cannot be suspended unless it provides for its own suspension or the provision is in the nature of a rule of order that can be suspended.

They can't be simply overridden by a majority vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
