Re-voting

[Guest Kelly Finafrock]

Once a body has passed a proper vote, under what circumstances can the President insist on a re-vote at the same meeting? Additionally, under what circumstances, if any, can a party who simply does not like outcome of a vote, request a re-vote on the agenda at the next meeting?

If it was indeed a proper vote, the President has no such power at all.

Any member may move, at a later meeting, to rescind or amend the passed motion as long as nothing has been carried out that can't be undone.

None.

Additionally, under what circumstances, if any, can a party who simply does not like outcome of a vote, request a re-vote on the agenda at the next meeting?

At the next meeting, under the circumstances that he has the floor, he may make a motion to Rescind the previous motion. If he had the presence of mind to give advance notice of his intentions at the last meeting, this motion will only require a majority vote to pass. Otherwise, it will take a 2/3 vote, or a majority of the entire membership (including those absent.).
