    Examples of Parliamentary Procedure


    Delegate (Wyoming):

    Madam Chair. (Standing)

    Convention Chair:

    The Chair recognizes the distinguished Delegate from


    Wyoming. For what purpose do you rise?

    Delegate (Wyoming):

    Madam Chair, I move that Plank #2, Amnesty for


    undocumented immigrants, be changed from 2
    (Oppose) to 1 (Strongly Oppose). (Still Standing)

    Convention Chair:

    The Delegate from Wyoming has moved that Plank #2 be


    changed from a 2 to a 1. Are there any seconds? Recall
    that Convention Rules require three seconds from three
    different state/district/territory delegations.

    Delegate (Arizona):

    Madam Chair, I second the motion. (Standing)

    Convention Chair:

    The Delegate from Arizona seconds the motion. Do we


    have any other seconds?

    Delegate (Iowa):

    Madam Chair, I also second the motion. (Standing)

    Convention Chair:

    The Delegate from Iowa also seconds the motion. Do we


    have one more second? The Chair recognizes the
    distinguished Delegate from Tennessee.

    Delegate (Tennessee):
    Convention Chair:

    Delegate (Wyoming):

    Convention Chair:

    Madam Chair, I also rise to second the motion. (Standing)


    The motion to amend Plank #2 has been moved and
    seconded by Delegates from Arizona, Iowa and Tennessee.
    Now, is there a speaker (Delegate) in favor of this motion?
    The Chair once again recognizes the distinguished
    Delegate from Wyoming. You have one minute to speak in
    favor of the motion.
    Thank you, Madam Chair. I believe that the Republican
    Partys position on this critical issue sends the wrong
    message. We are a nation of immigrants we are not
    opposed to immigration, just illegal immigration
    (Standing)
    The Delegates time has expired. Do we have a speaker
    against the proposed amendment? The Chair recognizes

    the distinguished Delegate from California. You have one


    minute to speak.
    Delegate (California):

    Thank you Madam Chair. I rise to oppose this motion. If


    anything, I believe the Republican Party is sending the
    wrong message regarding immigration. I come from a
    state with lots of immigrants, both legal and undocumented,
    and the current policy is a failure we do not have the
    capacity to implement tougher measures if anything, our
    position on Plank #2 should be a 4 (Standing)

    Convention Chair:

    The Delegates time has expired. Do we have another


    speaker in favor of the motion? The Chair recognizes the
    distinguished Delegate from Kentucky.

    Delegate (Kentucky):

    Thank you Madam Chair. Might I remind my fellow


    Delegates that we are supposed to be Republicans, not
    Democrats! This motion, if passed, simply requires
    everybody, regardless of national origin, to comport with
    the law we are a nation of laws, and to do otherwise
    invites lawlessness (Standing)

    Convention Chair:

    Are there any other Delegates wishing to speak against


    the motion? (None) Are there any other Delegates wishing
    to speak in favor of the motion? (None)The Chair
    recognizes the distinguished Delegate from Michigan.

    Delegate (Michigan): Madam Chair, I call the question (this motion forces an
    immediate voteit does not require a second and is not
    debatable). (Standing)
    Convention Chair:

    The Delegate from Michigan has called the question


    regarding the motion at hand. All those in favor of the
    proposed amendment to change the Republican Partys
    position on Plank #2 from a 2 to a 1, please signify by
    saying Aye.

    Convention Delegates: Aye!!!!! (Collective voice votes)


    Convention Chair:

    All those opposed to the motion, please signify by saying


    Nay.

    Convention Delegates: Nay!


    Convention Chair:

    In the opinion of the Chair, the Ayes have it. The


    motion to amend the Republican Partys position on Plank

    #2 and change it from a 2 to a 1 has been adopted.


    Are there any other motions? The Chair recognizes the
    distinguished Delegate from New York.
    Delegate (New York):

    Madam Chair, I move that the Grand Old Party should


    rethink its position on the death penalty I therefore move
    that Plank #6 be changed from. (Standing)
