Chairman, I object to the consideration of the question.[1]
Pres. The consideration of the question is objected to. Will the assembly consider it? As many as are in favor of the consideration will rise. Those opposed will rise. There being two-thirds opposed to the consideration the objection is sustained and the question will not be considered.
Mr. G. I move to adjourn. [Seconded and stated.]
Mr. H [rising and interrupting the president as he is about to put the question]: Mr. President [As soon as he attracts the president's attention, he continues:] I rise to give notice of the following amendment to the by-laws to be acted upon at the next meeting:
Proposed Amendment to the By-laws.
Substitute for Section 3, Art. VI, the following sections:
"Sec. 3. Regular meetings of the society shall be held on the first and third Thursdays of the month except from June 1 to Oct. 1.
"Sec. 4. Special meetings may be called by the President or by ten members."
Charles Hancock.
[Hands the written amendment to the president.][2]
- ↑ This objection may be made while another has the floor, the objector rising and interrupting, if necessary, in order to make his objection. The objector is not necessarily recognized. After there has been debate it is too late to object.
- ↑ A proposed amendment to the by-laws should be in writing, and it is well to have it signed by two persons. This is equivalent to a motion and a second.
