Rob Elsman Posted March 13, 2020 at 02:36 AM Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 at 02:36 AM In the somewhat unusual case where a member wishes the assembly to go on record as having decided not to do what a motion (and, more particularly, a main motion) proposes, he may, indeed, make and second a motion with the intention of voting against it; however, he must refrain from speaking in debate against his own motion.

Guest Question Posted March 13, 2020 at 05:04 AM Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 at 05:04 AM but Can someone specifically make a motion and also vote for it to have it pass? Or can they only make a motion and wait to see how others vote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
