Divide the election's total number of votes by the number of seats. This is the 1st quota.

Divide this quota into each candidate's votes, and round off to the nearest whole number. That's that candidate's seat allocation.

If, due to rounding, this awards a number of seats different from the desired number of seats, then adjust the quota slightly up or down, till, when paragraph two is carried out, it will award all seats.
* * *

18 Any resident of earth, nominee and/or proxy may observe the counting of the ballots. Volunteer counters will conduct the vote counting.

* * *

26 THE PARTY LEADER within the International Parliament is a label for the highest ranked name categorized under each party. Party leaders are responsible for the distribution of all ballots and rules to the members of their party/category and lists.
* * *

27 Such ballots may be retype set or altered to specifically identify their select nominees' correct name and party affiliation. All ballots released to public used by the International Parliament's elected secretaries shall count as a legitimate ballot and shall be presumed to represent the correct and most current candidate name information.
* * *

28 BALLOT: ORDER OF NOMINEES of all names in the parliament elections and subsidiary parliament elections will be determined by the results caused by the voters' ranking of the nominees on the previous election's ballots. This is known as the correct consecutive order of nominee. Appointments and self-appointments will be listed chronologically.

* * *

34. SENATORS

A maximum of 500 Senator "seats" are elected/appointed based on a $60. annual donation.
* * *

35. SENATOR TERMS

The term for Senators begins on the date of the donation and continues for one year (365 days) in the following year of sign-up.

The first criterea for ranking of Senator seat is donation level.

The second criterea for ranking of Senator seat is chronological order.

The third criterea for ranking of Senator seat is votes cast in 1000-member assembly elections.

The Senator's donation will be recorded and received. Should the Senator ever wish to
"stand down", then the donation amount will be not be refunded nor will
the donation be transferred to another name.

The numbers of seats for Senators shall never be more than the number
of free elected members of International Parliament (MIPs).

The Senators may vote on Senate guidelines and decisions from time to time
but there is no requirement for such votes which are voluntary only. These
compilation of votes will be conducted only by the Senators themselves.

All Senators shall have access to all financial records for the
International Parliament. More detailed information which isn't available
on the Treasury Ministry's web page will be made available within 90 days
to Senators after a request is made in writing to the Treasury Minister.

All payments are to be in US dollars only unless pre-approval is
obtained from the Treasury Ministry.
* * *

36. SENATOR DONATION

Once the donation/contribution is received, the donor's funds will be deposited into a bank account which is controlled by Treasury Minister, the President and the Vice President of the International Parliament.

All donors who contribute a minimum donation amount of $60. to the International Parliament (IP) will promptly and automatically become known as "Senator", once the donation has been correctly registered with the Treasury Minister, and/or is received by the appropriate clerk.
* * *

37. The 500 Senators are not elected during regular election cycles of the parliament's elections. The total donation amount will apply as both an annual sum or a total of multiple years. The annual donation is primarily for convention services and the sum from multiple years has a secondary purpose which can apply to different purposes other than the annual convention services.
* * *

38. When five hundred Senators have been elected, special new guidelines for Senator elections,
the nomination and election of the new Senator guidelines will become effective, and an election
of current and newly nominated Senators may take place within 90 days of reaching the 500 Senator
sign ups.
* * *

39. When Terms of Senator Ends

After expiration date of Senator term, based on $60. per year,
the Senator is automatically elected as MIP on the first day of the first year
which follows their term as Senator.

All Senators past and present, are automatically elected into the Republic of Earth,
Province, the Province where the country from which the Senator/donor originated,
until new Province guidelines for elections are established.

Once the 500-seat Senate chamber is elected, lower-ranked Senators/donors "spill over"
into a national Republic of Earth, the country from which the Senator/donor originated.
When no country is known then the name is eliminated from all records
and no splill-over takes place.
* * *

40. Senator IDs

Senators receive by email a special ID acknowledging the one-year term for Senator.
The term begins on the day the donation is received and lasts through one full year.

The ID will have text on one side only and will be in digital form and emailed
or sent via facebook text.

The signers on the ID will be the top-ranked President and top-ranked Vice
President, of the Ten Volunteer Executives. Should there be no willing signer
among the choices of President and Vice President, then the highest ranked
Execs who agree to sign will be acceptable.

The process for approving Senators is as follows:
--The Senator completes the sign-up form and pays the donation.
--The Senator confirms their identity by messaging a copy of their
state's identification. Only names on state IDs can be used
on certificate.
--The Senator's term begins on date of donation and lasts through
the end of the sign-up year and the next consecutive full year.
--The Senator's name remains on the home page of the International
Parliament for the complete year that the donation had been paid,
and at the end of the first full following year (December 31st),
the Senator's term concludes.
Senators of whose term had expired,
are then transferred from the title "Senator", to "MIP", and they are
removed from all communication lists for Senators.
--After the new Senator completes the required steps, an ID and certificate
is completed and emailed to the new Senator. The ID and
certificate are broadcast via email and/or facebook to popularize
the title of Senator.
* * *

41. DECLARATION

Senators must sign a special declaration provided by Vote Counting Ministry. The declaration
will be emailed, and must be signed and returned with origibal signature on paper within 90
days of receipt or the Senator will be removed from post.
* * *

42. TWELVE WORLD-WIDE POPULATION-BALANCED DISTRICTS

The earth's total population will be grouped in twelve population-balanced
Province Republics where no boundary is breached.

Countries and groups of countries will be ranked from top most populated
Province (#1) to lowest populated province (#12).

In cases like China, India, Africa and America, the country-groupings can
be alternately staggered, based on magnitudes of populations.

Subsidiary countries, states and provinces within these tweleve
population-balanced worldwide Provices need not be adjacent to each other
when alternating the grouping-order within whole countries or centinents
which were ranked consecutively based on population-totals of each
subsidiary country, state and province.

The highest criterea for grouping countries, states or provinces
within each of the twelve worldwide population-balanced Provinces
is the population counts and the ranking or all states being grouped.

The world's total population will be divided into
twelve population-balanced regions for organization purposes:

Navigation to the Earth's Twelve Population-Balanced Provinces (Est. 2016)

1. China #1
2. China #2
3. India #1
4. India #2
5. Africa #1
6. Africa #2
7. America #1
8. America #2
9. EurAsia and Middle East
10. Russia
11. Europe
12. Asia Pacific

Individual "Republic of Earth Parliaments" Grouped by Continent (Est. 2013)
* * *

43. Senators to Province

Senators names may be listed to their own Republic of Earth, Province Parliament.
Listing of Senators is updated at the end of each year before December 31st.
* * *

44. Paper Share/stock Certificates

From 12/13/2016 forward, all Members who donate $60. or more, are entitled to
purchase shares/stocks from the International Parliament's All Party System Co.
store as an option. Restictions apply.
* * *

45. Paper Share/stock Certificates Restrictions

The All Party System Co. manages finances and all things to do with money
in the International Parliament. There will be a $25. minimum transaction fee for
all share/stock transactions (buying and selling) and restrictions
apply.
* * *

46. "Voting Stoppage"

Whenever a financial crisis occurs where the costs for paying basic maintenance of the International Parliament are not being met, including the costs of domain hosting, web design and obligations to all of the Members, then the Treasury and/or Vote Counting Ministry can place end to all introductions of free membership sign ups of Members of International Parliament (MIPs) and other free services provided by the Vote Counting Ministry and this ending of free services will be known as the "voting stoppage".

This bylaw item can also affect the internal Cabinet voting by Ministers, but it will not
include/affect "votes of confidence" by the MIPs, and the
voting for election of Cabinet Ministers (parliamentary go-ahead) by the Ten Executives.

The voting stoppage will terminate either upon
the recommendation/consensus to end it by both the Treasury and Vote Counting Ministries,
or once the numbers of Senators reaches the same number of free MIPs within
the general International Parliament's assembly membership.
* * *

47. Diplomatic Passports

Some ministers and deputies will be traveling a lot abroad. The International Parliament
will try to secure Diplomatic Passports to be used at the airports
and borders a diplomatic passport would make sense. Even for the professional
legitimacy to foreign politicians.
* * *

48. ID Cards
* * *

49. For activities within the country an ID card is sufficient. However, a
professionally designed plastic card should be used here. Since the
International Parliament nevertheless plays an important role in the
world standard, we should already pay attention to a professional public image.

In the future, ID cards may be produced for regular memberships, Ministers, Directors, MIPs or others. But no ID cards can be produced for members unless authorized by guidelines.
* * *

50. The International Parliament will not ever hold any election in a single-
winner district, where one single-winner decision or name is elected.
* * *

51. Ballot Preparation
* * *

52. SPACE FOR THREE OR MORE WRITE-IN choices must be provided on each
and every ballot, in all elections.
* * *

53. CATEGORIZATION AND PARTY NAMES The first and most important
criterion in determining the nominee's party/category is the
nominee's most recently requested or declared party/category in
Parliament matters. The second most important criterion in
determining the nominee's party/category is determined by the
nominee's state's records, as written by the member while
registering to vote. Appointed members may be categorized with any
party/category that they wish, and the party/category of all
members is considered to be the true one. Elected members
may decide to change or switch their party/categorization at any time
by proclamation. Members automatically qualify for the ballot
in the next election cycle under the party/category of
their choice.
* * *

54. First and last names are required. All nominated names will be added to the ballot along with the party/category of the nominee, country of origin and date elected.

When the party/category is not known, the label "[Info. Not Avail.]" will be used.

When country is unknown the word "Earth" is assigned beside the name.

A nominee's name (and thus identity) may appear on the ballot only once, so fusion voting is not allowed.
* * *

55. RESIGNATIONS. When elected members ask to be removed or they
"stand down", ask for "freeze of membership", resign, retire, or
die - the name is deleted. Once the name is deleted, then the next
highest ranked name is automatically elected to the
seat in their stead.

There is a one-week grace period (168 hours) for the person who resigned to change their mind and remain with the International Parliament.

Once the week grace period passes, a resigning member who wishes to return may only return as a new member.

When a member or candidate who has chosen to resign/stand down but then wishes to
return to the position which they had departed, then they must first
be re-affirmed by all the voters who had previously cast a vote for them, in cases where an Executive or Cabinet position is affected.
* * *

56. Resignation of Executives.
When one of the Ten Execs stands down, a "vote of confidence" is called,
within 30 days.

The goal is to elect better Executives by calling for
nominations in an method to intentionally elect more active Execs.

Once the call is made, a second 30-day period to receive votes is
established, and at the end of the 60 days newly elected Executives are
announced.
* * *

57. TEN EXECUTIVES
* * *

58. ELECTIONS. Once elected, all new Members of International Parliament
(MIPs) may change their vote as a "vote of confidence" for the ten
executives into perpetuity.
* * *

59. THE VOICE of the International Parliament will be the ten executives.
* * *

60. Each of the elected ten executives may pick an "Executive Seat-Title" once elected.
* * *

61. The ten executives elect up to sixty full Cabinet Ministers and sixty
Deputy Cabinet Ministers using the "parliamentary go-ahead".
* * *

62. The International Parliament's ten executives agree to rank all names
nominated by each of the other nine executives, thus guaranteeing that each
of the ten executives elects 1/10th of the 60 cabinet ministers. This
is known as the "parliamentary go-ahead".
* * *

63. THE TEN EXECUTIVES recruit as many
people as possible who will work in the Cabinet to run the efforts,
elects the planks on the platform and run the parliament's efforts free from
political conflict or bias. The executives do not control who
gets elected to the general assembly.
* * *

64. The ten executives of the International Parliament (IP) will
serve as "Founding Executives" on the unity business entity
named "All Party System Co., International Bureau", which is established
in order to report all unifying news, business, financial matters,
vote counting and results of vote counting of the IP to the public
and to serve as a store for generating sales of products and services.
* * *

65. SIXTY CABINET MINISTERS

MINISTRY: A simple majority vote by at least six of
the ten executives establishes the parliamentary go-ahead and
will elect new Ministers, even without the parliamentary go-ahead.

There will be one full Minister and one Deputy Minister elected to all
future Cabinet Ministry elections.

The full Minister is charged with guiding the Ministry's fifty (50)
Directors by recording votes, factoring votes and answering questions.

When there is a resignation from full Minister, the Deputy Minister
will be automatically elected as full Minister unless any of the Ten Executives rank a
different name.

When there is an opening at full or Deputy Minister, a top-ranked Director
within that Ministry shall be considered a top nominee by the Ten Execs.
* * *

66. FIFTY (50) MINISTRY DIRECTORS

There will be fifty (50) elected Directors. All Members may only serve as one Minister or Director in any Ministry.

No Minister, Deputy Minister or Director may be elected or serve as a
Minister or Director in more than one Ministry.

Only the Ministers and Directors within each Ministry may elect
Directors, resolutions, agenda items, guidelines
and Administrators within each earth-at-large Ministry district, except
in cases where the Ministry had elected special internal guidelines regulating
eligibility for voters for that Ministry.

Once Directors are nominated and elected, their name is added to the blank
eballot, and they may vote for Director elections.

Internal Ministry guidelines may not conflict with the
International Parliament's general guidelines. In cases
where there is a conflict, these International Parliament's
guidelines (AKA "RESOLUTION NUMBER ONE") overrule internal
guidelines.
* * *

67. GENERAL MINISTRY "FREE DIRECTOR" ELECTION GUIDELINES

Initiating the Ministry

a. While the Ministry is being established and the Directors and Administrators are being elected to maintain the Ministry, the International Parliament's Ten Executives shall have the authority needed to establish and maintain these Ministry internal Director election guidelines, elected Directors, Administrators, and Senators. Once all of the "seats" named above are elected and filled, then the five-member executive, the two Ministers and three Administrators, are expected to maintain the elections. Any of the Ten Executives may continue to vote on internal Ministry matters until resprictions are implemented by guideline #67.,a.

Ministry Directors

Fifty Directors Are to Be Elected for Free in Each Ministry Under Ranked Choice Voting

b. The fifty "Free Directors" are elected by the Ministy's eligible voters by ranking of the names. Once elected, all the elected Free Directors may vote for the three Administrators, resolutions, agenda items and/or internal guidelines. The full Minister and Deputy Minister may not be elected as a Director, but rankings on a marked eballot for a full and/or Deputy Minister of any Ministry will not cause a spoiled eballot on Director election eballots.

In cases where a Minister was not elected as Director, should the full and/or Deputy Minister choose to "stand down", resign, die or be unelected, the name who was Minister or Deputy Minister may be reinstated as Director if the votes are there. Elected Ministers (and Deputy Ministers) are removed/added from the list of the 50 Directors as they are elected/unelected.

Acceptance of Nominations

c. Nominated names for the ballot electing the Directors must be only names who accept/agree to be nominated and must be ranked to be nominated.
When Directors are eliminated from a Ministry for one reason or another, their name may remain on the blank eballot as a nominee for Director. They may also vote as long as they vote for and elect their own name to the Ministry and their name is not currently serving in another Ministry.

d. Nominations by Facebook and Sign-up
The first fifty names who join the Ministry's facebook page and who are ranked by correctly registered voters of the International Parliament, may be elected to the Ministry. New Directors elected by Ministry facebook page sign-up must complete the International Parliament's sign-up form before their name is elected.
Once the cap of fifty Free Directors is reached no more names will be automatically added as elected Directors.
Names who join the facebook page may be considered automatically self-nominated and elected Free Directors. Joining/accepting to the facebook page can be equivalent to a one-time #1 vote for their own name in cases where no other internal guidelines had been approved.

e. Only the Ministry's full and Deputy Ministers, Directors and Administrators may vote on internal guidelines, resolutions, agendas and other internal Ministry matters.

g. Only rules passed by the Ministry itself will be recognized by members of the Ministry, except for rules affecting the in International Parliament that are passed by the International Parliament or its executive committee. All rules passed by other ministries, or other external equal or subordinate entities, which seek to affect this Ministry in International Parliament shall be considered null and void unless approved by the majority of elected Directors within the Ministry itself.

h. An administrative committee of five members is established, consisting of the full and Deputy Minister and three administrators. The three Administrators are elected by Directors of the Ministry in an ongoing "vote of confidence" election for Administrators.

The highest ranked administrator shall be the Administrator; the second highest, Deputy Administrator; and the third highest, Associate Administrator. The executive committee of five shall have the authority to conduct business on behalf of the ministry, as authorized to do so within ministry guidelines or resolutions. Any member of the Ministry may be elected as one of the three administrators, so long as they accept nomination. The full and Deputy Minister, who by virtue of their offices will already be holding a seat on the five member executive committee, may not be elected as Administrators.

Facebook Voting Page and Password
i. This five-member executives shall have a password to a facebook page and when one of the five stands down or is unelected, the password may be changed by the remaining five executives to insure privacy.

Choosing Party/Category of Directors by Minister
j.

Since the free speech word/party category is not always the correct word(s), of course the elected Director herself or himself, each Director may always pick a new or different word(s) that they may wish to be listed by their own name within the Ministry and on eballots. The full or Deputy Minister may specify a party/category.

Vote Counting Ministry Certification
k. The elections last into perpetuity and the voting records and results are to be overseen, announced, maintained and subject to approval and Certification by the International Parliament's Vote Counting Ministry. Certification occurs when the Ministry's web page is updated.

Directors May Be Elected in Only One Ministry of IP Cabinet
l. In cases where the name holds a seat in a second Ministry, the Vote Counting Ministry will delete the name from the Ministries in which the elected Director has the highest stature. A #1 spot represents the highest ranking. All Directors who hold seats in multiple Ministries are expected to contact the Vote Counting Ministry regarding which Ministry they'd like their name to remain. If no request is made, then the Vote Counting Ministry will have first say in removing the Director's name in the places where the name is the highest ranked.
* * *

68 SLANDERERS and ANTAGONISTS

NO PERSON MAY BE CENSORED, no limits may be placed on free speech by/of any other person or nominee, including International Parliament's elected members and staff, at any time except when applying these guidelines to the party/category labels/names and when regulating the membership status for regulating antagonists.

NO HATE WORDS AS PARTY/CATEGORY NAME: Party/category's labels/names may not be used in such a way that slanders or libels names of any person or other party/categories or individuals. Those that refuse to comply by continuing to libel others through their choice of party name will be categorized as members of the Censored Party. Elected members using a name or pseudonym rather than their actual name, which libels, slanders or mimics (such as incorrect spellings), shall have their name censored and instead will be known only as Anonymous.

Members of any International Parliament entity who antagonize others more than once use through the use of profanity, slander, blank-male, insulting or offensive vulgar language, harassing or chauvinistic speech, terrorizing threats, including the threats of lawsuits against other members/vote counters or volunteers within the International Parliament or those who use actual physical force or violence, persons providing a false name and/or contact information, sending repeated emails or facebook messages (five or more) after being asked to refrain from such messages, these members may be permanently or temporarily removed by the full Minister in that Cabinet Ministry, by any of the ten executives of the International Parliament or by the International Parliament's web page or facebook page maintainer.

Messages and emails that do not represent our purpose and mission that appear to be threatening, or slanderous should be ignored. Our mission and purpose is clearly stated and any opposition to our mission is an opposition to peace. In most cases we must take the higher ground and ignore.

Menacing name-calling through facebook messages and emails can be grounds for removal of the person's membership status, especially when these harrassing messages are directed at those who are busy helping to build membership and unity and when directed at any of the Ten Executives. Such behaviors will not be tolerated and removal from membership, email lists and facebook pages will be executed as needed.

The misuse of ID cards by Senators, any misleading representation of the International Parliament or misrepresentation of the role of the Senator such as unilateral decisions on policies which are reserved for the Ministers or the Ten Executives such as the creation of Ministries or other responsibilities, can result in the revocation of membership as Senator, Minister, Member or other punitive actions such as demotions.

In the future, as the Ten Executives approve an agenda requiring such actions, Executives, Senators, Ministers, Directors and all Members may be required to sign a declaration statement in which they promise that they are not a convicted criminal or opponent on the government of any state or country. Had such convictions occurred in the past, present or future, then the Ten Executives have the athority to remove the name from the International Parliament, subsidiary parliaments and membership rolls.

MEDIATION AND CONCILIATION MINISTRY: Appeals of a name's removal action may be taken to the Mediation and Conciliation Minister where rules for such appeals are to be written, voted upon and approved.

First a "Docket Number" is created and then guidelines are elected for hearing and making rulings on the first appeal to the Mediation and Conciliation Ministry within thirty days of receipt of the first "Docket Number" created.

The hearing by the Ministry must be completed in thirty days after the facts had been presented and there will be only one hearing by the Ministry. Further appeals may be taken to the "court of public opinion" and a new Mediation and Conciliation Minister must have been elected prior to second appeals.

APPEALS In cases where a registered voter and/or member was removed, an appeal on such cases is brought before to the Mediation and Conciliation Minister and must include a serious defense and explanation of the case for the person was removed. There must be also be a demonstrated knowledge of the International Parliament's guidelines and examples of using pure proportional representation (PR) for generating a unifying psychology must be provided.

Should any financial compensation be asked for or awarded after an appeal had been heard and a ruling had been finalized by the International Mediation and Conciliation Service Minister which is charged with recommending such financial compensation, then the case can be taken to the All Party System Co.'s International Bureau's Ethics & Grievances Committee of Four where a determination of the exact amount can be made and executed by the All Party System Co.'s CEO.

If the motion is seconded, the Chair will direct the committee to an immediate vote without debate on the motion, a majority being required for consideration. If no resolution receives a majority vote in favor of consideration, the Committee will automatically have before it for consideration the first resolution in the resolution book under that agenda item that has been received by the chair with the appropriate number of signatories.

To move an amendment to the floor, recognition by the Chair and introduction of the amendment will suffice; no vote shall be required. Once an amendment has been brought to the floor, the Committee shall consider only the amendments and not the Resolutions until final action on the amendment has been taken (except to the extent that the amendment pertains to the Resolution).
* * *

__92__ Definition of Amendment and Voting on Amendments. An amendment is a motion that adds to, deletes from, or revises any part of a resolution.

If closure passes, then the amendment shall be voted on first followed by the resolution.
* * *

__94__ Move a Resolution to the Floor. Used to bring an approved resolution to the floor, this motion may not interrupt a speaker and is not debatable. No second is required.

Motions should be made at the conclusion of the speaker's remarks; by making a motion, the speaker yields the floor.
* * *

__96__ Time Limit on Debate. The committee or the Chair may limit or extend the time allotted to each speaker and the number of times each delegate may speak on a proposal. There may be one speaker in favor and one opposed to the limitation/extension.

Delegates shall not interrupt a speaker on a point of information.

__99__ MOTIONS - ORDER OF PROCEDURAL MOTIONS

The motions as indicated in the Short Form of Points and Motions have precedence, in the order given, over all other proposals or motions before the committee.

Adjournment of Debate. During the discussion of any matter, a delegate may move the adjournment of debate on that matter. One delegate may speak in favor of the motion and one opposed. The motion shall then be put to an immediate vote. Adjournment of debate on a resolution or amendment has the effect of tabling that item and moves the committee on to the next order of business. See also 8.9 on Reconsideration.

Closure of Debate. A delegate may move to close debate at any time on any matter. Such a motion closes all substantive debate on the matters before the body at that time, except when such a motion would interrupt a speaker. Two delegates may speak against closure, and the motion will then be put to a vote. During debate on an amendment, a delegate may move for closure of debate on the resolution. if closure passes, then the amendment shall be voted on first followed by the resolution.

Move a Resolution to the Floor. Used to bring an approved resolution to the floor, this motion may not interrupt a speaker and is not debatable. No second is required.

Suspension of the Meeting. During the discussion of any matter, a delegate may move to suspend the meeting. Suspending a meeting recesses it until the time specified in the motion; the Chair may request the mover to modify the time. When the committee reconvenes it will continue with its business from the point at which suspension was moved.

Adjournment of the Meeting. The motion of adjournment means that all business of the committee has been completed, and that the committee win not reconvene until the next Annual Session. The Chair may refuse to recognize a motion to adjourn the meeting if the Committee still has business before it. A motion to adjourn is not debatable, and will be put to an immediate vote.

Decisions of Competence. Any motion calling for a decision on the competence of the Committee to discuss or adopt a proposal shall be put to a vote before the vote is taken on the proposal in question. If a Committee decides it is not competent to discuss or vote on an amendment or resolution, the effect is the same as adjourning debate on the matter. See also 8.9 on Reconsideration.

Withdrawal of Motions. A motion may be withdrawn by its proposer at any time before voting on it has begun, provided the motion has not been amended. A withdrawn motion may be reintroduced by any other delegation.

Reconsideration of Proposals. When a proposal has been adopted, or rejected through a vote of adjournment or "no competence", it may be reconsidered at the same session by an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members present and voting. The motion to reconsider must be made by a delegation which originally voted on the prevailing side of the proposal; thus, reconsideration may be moved only on the proposals voted on by roll-call.

Division of the Question. A motion to divide the question, proposing that parts of an amendment or resolution be voted on separately, is in order at any time prior to commencement of voting on the amendment or resolution. Motions to divide shall apply only to operative clauses. Permission to speak on the motion shall be granted to one speaker in favor and one opposed, after which there shall be an immediate vote. The first motion for division to receive a majority vote shall become the final manner in which the proposal is presented. Those parts of the proposal which are approved shall be put to a vote as a whole. If all operative clauses of a proposal have been rejected, the proposal as a whole has been rejected.

Dilatory Motions. The Chair may rule as dilatory, and therefore out of order, any motion repeating or closely approximating a substantive measure on which the committee has already rendered an opinion. Such rulings can not be appealed.

Appealing a Decision of the Chair. Rulings of the chair can be appealed unless otherwise specified in these GUIDELINES. Appeals can be debated by one speaker in favor and one opposed.
