[Guest Kim Goldsworthy]

Denise,

Do you want the page numbers which hold the answers?

Setting aside the scoffing, Denise, what is this about? (As Mr Goldsworthy asked, will page citations help you?)"

[Guest John M.]

>>If a motion was adopted by unanimous consent, can any member qualify to move to reconsider it?<<

Almost. Any member who was present when the motion was adopted may move to reconsider it. (RONR, 10th ed., pg. 305, lines 6-10)

You wanna do her pushups in Phys Ed class too, John?"

[Guest Denise]

Now that all the smart remarks were provided. Yes, I am studying for the exam and one of the questions has both answers in a multiple answer scenario. I believe both are correct, as the RONR indicates, and yes, I do know where to find the answer. My Qu"

Please provide the complete question and all choices, exactly as everything is worded, and we'll get started on those push-ups right away."

[Guest Shmuel Gerber]

You may understand it (although it would not appear so), but I certainly do not understand your understanding of it. :-)

Choice B completes the sentence in a correct manner. The other choices do not. I don't see anything particularly erroneous or"

[Guest Denise]

Well I thought I understood it. Lets say that the motion was adopted by unanimous consent, assuming that everyone was at the meeting. Lets assume that one member was not at the meeting, yet all those that were voted in favor of the motion. Lets say tha"

[Guest Shmuel Gerber]

No.

Your scenario is self-contradicting.

There is no reason to assume that everyone was at the meeting. In fact, if one member was not at the meeting, then obviously NOT everyone was at the meeting. Furthermore, if the motion was adopted by unanim"

Given the complexity of the question, I surmised that what she's studying for is more in the nature of the RP Exam than a high school civics assignment.
