Guest Ruth Posted September 16, 2019 at 06:57 PM Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 06:57 PM Does the chair or chairman have the prerogative to not recognize a duly made motion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted September 16, 2019 at 07:19 PM Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 07:19 PM The answer is most likely (almost certainly) no he or she doesn't. However, if you can give us more details such as what the motion is and when it was made we may be able to give a more definitive answer.

Atul Kapur Posted September 16, 2019 at 10:18 PM Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 at 10:18 PM (edited) The chair cannot ignore a motion that has been made and seconded. Except in very rare circumstances (such as a member repeatedly making dilatory motions) the chair should either state the motion or rule it out of order, but not ignore it.
