Typically, rules in the bylaws may not be suspended: " Rules contained in the bylaws (or constitution) cannot be suspended—no matter how large the vote in favor of doing so or how inconvenient the rule in question may be—unless the particular rule specifically provides for its own suspension, or unless the rule properly is in the nature of a rule of order as described on page 17, lines 22–25" RONR (11th ed.), p. 263 Perhaps if you quote the passage in question, or provide a general description of what rule(s) they want to suspend, we can provide further guidance.
