Contradicting Motions

[Guest Confused in WI]

A member made a motion,  which was seconded, and unanimously carried. Next another motion was made which contradicted/voided the previously made motion and was approved by majority vote. Does this violate any of Roberts Rules? If so can you cite the rule. Thank you.

Yes, it does.  No motion is in order that contradicts a previously adopted motion still in effect.  From page 112 of RONR:  "Apart from a motion to Rescind or to Amend Something Previously Adopted (35), no main motion is in order that conflicts with a motion previously adopted at any time and still in force."

From page 251, regarding points of order, to the effect that an immediate point of order is not necessary when "a main motion has been adopted that conflicts with a main motion previously adopted and still in force, unless the subsequently adopted motion was adopted by the vote required to rescind or amend the previously adopted motion".  In such a case, there is a continuing breach and a point of order can be raised as long as the breach continues.
