jstackpo Posted June 3, 2012 at 09:52 PM Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 at 09:52 PM Yes. See p. 452, ll. 1-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Edgar Posted June 3, 2012 at 09:59 PM Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 at 09:59 PM Does the exiting president run the election process?Even if he's not necessarily "exiting" (i.e. even if he might be re-elected).And "preside over" might be a better choice of words than "run".

woodpusher Posted January 21, 2013 at 05:30 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 at 05:30 AM I guess I'm misreading this....p. 452 talks about the President turning the chair over to the VP or appropriate temporary chairman....this rule does not include a regularly scheduled election, then?

Gary c Tesser Posted January 21, 2013 at 09:12 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 at 09:12 AM How about the first sentence on p. 452, which begins with the last two words on p. 451? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Novosielski Posted January 21, 2013 at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 at 09:13 AM I don't think you misread, but you may have stopped reading too soon, or started reading too late.The chair, however, should not hesitate to put the question on a motion to elect officers or appoint delegates or a committee even if he is included.

woodpusher Posted January 24, 2013 at 01:48 AM Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 at 01:48 AM Would "campaign speeches" count as debate? (Each candidate is invited to address the assembly)?(So if it's just an election, don't step down; if it involves debate, then do? I got thrown by the following part about stepping down in favor of the VP and such.)Or is it the fact that there's nothing to decide -- the date of the election is set by the bylaws, so it's not like the chair can make an unfair ruling in his own favor.
