pjag Posted May 10, 2015 at 11:01 PM Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 at 11:01 PM Recently the ByLaws committee presented proposed amendments to executive board. One of the proposed amendment brought on a disagreement from the President and two officers. The President proposed to make made a change to that one recommendation before the committee presented to the executive council and the entire membership. Does he have that right?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted May 11, 2015 at 12:02 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 at 12:02 AM The president has such authority only insofar as the bylaws provide it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Lages Posted May 11, 2015 at 02:40 AM Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 at 02:40 AM The right to propose a change? Sure - any member can suggest a change. But, assuming it is the bylaws committee report that will be presented to the executive council and the membership, the committee has the same right to decline to make that change.

The right to propose an amendment? Sure. (Although whether he can do it while presiding is another question.) But proposing one and getting majority support for one--which is what is needed--are two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
