Brainteaser of the Month

If your parliamentary authority is Robert’s Rules of Order Newly Revised (12th Edition), are nominations debatable?

(difficulty level - 4)

Yes, with limits. The 12th Edition includes new language as to debate on nominations, noting that nominations in large conventions are sometimes accompanied by a speech or seconds, although not required. RONR (12th ed.) 46:27. Among other specifics, “If candidates are members of the organization, speakers must exercise caution to avoid making any personal criticisms of them in debate. Rather than attacking a nominee, a speaker may advocate the election of a rival candidate. By a two-thirds vote, the assembly may adopt a motion limiting debate to any extent desired” RONR (12th ed.) 46:28.
