jstackpo Posted April 14, 2016 at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 at 10:24 PM Is that word ("settled") in RONRIB? Page? Approximate line number? (I don't have an electronic copy to make an easy search.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted April 14, 2016 at 10:43 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 at 10:43 PM The "Settled" Rule is described in RONRIB pp. 50-51. It's a simplified explanation of the nonrenewability of the same amendment to the same motion at the same session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmuel Gerber Posted April 14, 2016 at 10:45 PM Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 at 10:45 PM 32 minutes ago, Leo said: According to RONRIB, what is the "settled" rule? Pages 50-51: THE "SETTLED" RULE. The time of the group should not be wasted by making it vote over and over again on the same thing. So once the group has voted on an amendment, that specific matter is considered settled. … … The basic rule is that after the group has voted that certain words shall, or shall not, be part of a motion, you cannot offer another amendment that raises the same question of content and effect. Common sense is necessary to apply this principle from case to case. [RONR (11th ed.), p. 139, ll. 23–33.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
