Robert's Rules of Order

Webster's New World

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...Affirmative votes on the following cannot be reconsidered: Proceed to the Orders of the Day; Adopt, or after they are adopted, to Amend, or Repeal, or Rescind, the Constitution, Bylaws, or Rules of Order or any other rules that require previous notice for their amendment; Elect to membership or office if the member or officer is present and does not decline, or if absent and has learned of his election in the usual way and has not declined; to Reopen Nominations. A negative vote on the motion to Postpone Indefinitely cannot be reconsidered as practically the same question comes up again when the vote is taken on the main question. After a committee has taken up the matter referred to it, it is too late to reconsider the vote committing it, though the committee may be discharged. But after debate has proceeded under an order limiting or extending the limits of debate, the vote making that order may be reconsidered, as the debate may develop facts that make it desirable to return to the regular rules of debate. The minutes, or record of proceedings, may be corrected at any time without reconsidering the vote approving them. If the main question is pending and it is moved to reconsider the vote on any subsidiary 12, incidental 13, or privileged 14 motion, the chair states the question on the reconsideration the moment the motion to be reconsidered is in order if it were made then for the first time. Thus, if, while the motions to commit, for the previous question, and to lay on the table are pending, it is moved to reconsider a negative vote on postponing to a certain time, the chair proceeds to take the vote on laying on the table and, if that is lost, next on the previous question, and then on reconsidering the vote on the postponement,...

Rules & Procedures

Fleming H. Revell Co.

The most widely used parliamentary authority in the United States emerged from a failed pubic meeting in Bedford, Massachusetts in the 1800's. Unprepared to lead the meeting and unable to organize the gathered people, Henry M. Robert failed miserably and left the church building embarrassed. But he turned his shame into codified order, setting down the definitive guide for organizing, running and leading a deliberative assembly.

Robert's Rules of Order: A Pocket Manual of Rules of Order for Deliberative Assemblies

Sweetwater Press

When 19th-century army engineering officer Henry Robert was asked to preside over a church meeting, he realized he didn’t know how. This experience and subsequent events led him to compile a standardized book of parliamentary procedure. This edition closely follows Robert’s guide while incorporating updates and appendices that make it practical for use today.
