It requires a second, is debatable, amendable, and needs a majority vote for approval. If the misbehavior persists and interferes with the orderly conduct of business, a motion may be made to censure the presiding officesr. This motion is secondable, debatable, amendable, and requires a majority vote. If neither is present or willing to entertain the motion, it is put to a vote by the maker of the motion. The president may debate the motion but may not vote on it.
Censure is an expression of indignation, a reprimand aimed at preventing further offending actions.
Motions of no confidence and censure, rescinding an election, amending bylaws to shorten an offender's term of office or holding a formal trial to depose him, should not be made lightly and then only after calm, sober reflection. It is best not to resort to the extreme measures outlines above unless the situation truly calls for such drastic action and the organization cannot wait for the next regularly scheduled election to vote the offender out of office. In conclusion, because of the litigious nature of our society and the real possibility of lawsuits for libel and slander, the advice of legal counsel should be sought whenever serious disciplinary proceedings are being contemplated. Finally, if the offender's term of office is for only one year, in most cases, the Society would probably be well advised to wait out the year rather than venture out into a potential mine field.
