Holding two seats

Yes it is a rule of order.

... which fails to create a continuing breach beyond adjournment.

(As long as the meeting itself is ongoing, a point of order may be raised regarding the infraction. After adjournment, it will be too late.)

I don't dispute that. I agree that no continuing breach would be created.

I'd be perfectly satisfied to know that a timely point of order raised against the conduct of business while there were not both a president and a secretary on duty would be well taken.

I agree that no continuing breach would be created.

This, at least, evidences an understanding that the sentence on page 21, lines 5-10, does not mean that, if one person serves as both presiding officer and secretary, it is not possible for business to be conducted.

It is also a big step in the right direction toward an understanding that it is not even a violation of any rule in RONR, but we can leave this understanding for another day. :)
