But on the topic of TB Prez election (which shouldn't be put in the middle of a thread on term limits which we're seeking input on IMO), you were working from old verbiage & smaug caught what TB members did before they voted:

"On 16 Jan 2011, the TalkBoard unanimously passed:

Moved by Markie and seconded by jackal:

The TalkBoard recommends that the following amendments be made to the TalkBoard Guidelines:

Section 3, paragraph ii, sub-paragraph c be replaced with the following text :

The presidential elections shall be conducted as follows: Any candidate garnering 2/3rd of the total TalkBoard vote in the primary presidential vote shall be immediately declared the winner. If there are more than 2 candidates in the primary vote and none receive 2/3rds of the total vote then a final vote shall be held between the top two vote-getters. In the final vote, the President shall be decided by a simple majority vote. If there are no more than two candidates for President, then there will be no primary election before the final vote and a simple majority will elect. "

I'm considering starting a new thread on term limits & posting in post #1 the verbiage/motion we're considering since this thread is long, and has gone sideways, first w/ mod discussions & now discussions on TB election which had been addressed earlier this year.

When asking for public comments pro/con, I'd like us to at least semi-stay on the topic.

Cheers.
