rthib Posted January 16, 2013 at 06:42 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 06:42 PM Constitution states that it may be "Constitution may be amended with a majority vote at any meeting."Based on this,Could and amendment to the constitution be made to limit debate and be passed with a simple majority (based on constitution) or would the fundamental Parliamentary rule of 2/3 still apply.

Guest Edgar Posted January 16, 2013 at 06:46 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 at 06:46 PM If your constitution can be amended with just a majority vote then you can amend your constitution with just a majority vote. And you can amend it to say whatever you want and it will supersede any conflicting rule in RONR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted January 17, 2013 at 12:17 AM Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 at 12:17 AM Constitution states that it may be "Constitution may be amended with a majority vote at any meeting."Based on this,Could and amendment to the constitution be made to limit debate and be passed with a simple majority (based on constitution)Yes, assuming that this is all the constitution says on the subject... and if it is, your society might want to change that. RONR recommends that the procedure for amending the constitution require at least a 2/3 vote and previous notice (RONR, 11th ed., pg. 580, line 25 - pg. 581, line 3)or would the fundamental Parliamentary rule of 2/3 still apply.No. The rule in the constitution would supersede any rules in the parliamentary authority it conflicts with.
