Guest Walt Posted April 9, 2015 at 12:02 AM Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 at 12:02 AM A board member has made a motion and it has been seconded. Discussion has been had and the question has been called. The President refuses to call for a vote. (because he doesn't like the motion.) What are the options for the rest of the Board? Can the VP call the vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Harrison Posted April 9, 2015 at 01:07 AM Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 at 01:07 AM See FAQ #11.I think the issue is the President is refusing to put the question (to a vote). If in the future the President refuses to put the question to a vote a member (of the body of which is meeting) should raise a Point of Order that he doesn't have a proper reason for refusing to put the question (and be prepared to Appeal an adverse ruling). If all else fails see RONR pp. 650-651 and Official Interpretation 2006-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Walter Posted April 12, 2015 at 09:22 PM Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 at 09:22 PM Thank you for your replies. Mr. Huynh is correct on the question. In the last case, he simply didn't agree with the majority, so refused to call for a vote. I had originally read FAQ 11 and 20 and now must review our by-laws.
