Edgar Guest Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:29 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:29 PM Most "ordinary" motions are debatable but the time to raise a point of order to the effect that the "moderator" (the chair?) didn't allow time for debate has passed. You could "punish" the moderator for his bad behavior. Next time, speak up!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:37 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:37 PM The motion was made and had a second and went for a vote so fast that I didn't catch it in time. So it is legal for the president to call for a vote without discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:41 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:41 PM Assuming the motion was adopted, it may still be possible to rescind (or otherwise amend) it. If the motion was defeated, just make it again. And tell you moderator to moderate his actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:50 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:50 PM Even though the motion passed . Just want to make sure the motion is a legal motion without asking for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgar Guest Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:53 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2015 at 10:53 PM The unfortunate fact that the "moderator" failed to allow time for debate doesn't affect the validity of the adopted motion. Your problem is with your moderator, not the motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
