President as a committee member

[Drake Savory]

A president serves as ex officio committee member.  They choose to debate and vote on a proposed motion that the committee wants to make to the general assembly.

Later, the President is chairing the general meeting and the committee makes the motion.  In the name of impartiality since the President qua committee member has made their view known and taken a position on the motion, should they pass the gavel to the Vice-President until the motion is disposed of?

No, unless he intends to enter into debate during the general assembly meeting.

At the general membership assembly meeting, the president should preside. Another member of the committee, chosen beforehand, should present the recommendation of the committee and move its adoption. The chair should preside throughout and not participate in the debate.
