Guest Jeanette Howard Posted February 23, 2017 at 04:05 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 at 04:05 PM Hello, my first time to this discussion site. Does the president have the right to table an issue, such as reading of the minutes, without a motion, second, and vote to pass or fail?

Joshua Katz Posted February 23, 2017 at 04:11 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 at 04:11 PM No. Nor should anything be laid on the table except when something urgent has arisen, or to deal with an item by setting aside intervening matters. Furthermore, only a motion may be laid on the table, not an 'issue, such as reading of the minutes.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not at all, no way (unless your organization does have rules, which I think would have to be in the bylaws, that give hijm that right.).

Guest Who's Coming to Dinner Posted February 23, 2017 at 04:21 PM Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 at 04:21 PM However, a good chairman will handle uncontroversial matters by unanimous consent, which means giving the members a moment to voice objection, and if none is heard, moving on.
