Guest Tomm Posted June 17, 2021 at 03:31 PM Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 at 03:31 PM I'm confused on how to process a resolution. 10:19 says the preamble is amended last, which obviously means the resolved portion is debated and amended first! Question: Does each portion of the resolution get voted on separately meaning two votes are required to pass or fail the resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question: Does each portion of the resolution get voted on separately meaning two votes are required to pass or fail the resolution? Aside from the votes on any individual amendments, only one vote is required to pass the entire resolution. The wording of the Resolved portion is debated first, and when no (further) amendments are offered, no vote is needed, as the desired wording has been decided. Debate then occurs on the Whereas clauses, and when no (further) amendments are offered, that wording has now been decided, and the wording of the resolution (as amended) is then the pending question. Further debate may occur. Eventually, a vote is taken to either approve or reject the resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
