I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you mock me terribly?
The world is cruel and unjust and entirely too full of rude people. No es justo. I lost. People, who shall go unnamed, are completely ignorant of parliamentary procedure, so for their benefit, I shall proffer up an abrigded version of Robert's Rules of Order.
Point Uno: If the question is debatable and no one rises to claim the floor, after the question is stated by the chair, he should inquire, "Are you ready for the question?" After a moment's pause, if no one rises, he should put the question to vote. If the question is debated or motions are made, the chair should wait until the debate has apparently ceased, when he should again inquire, "Are you ready for the question?" Having given ample time for any one to rise and claim the floor, and no one having done so, he should put the question to vote and announce the result.
This in no way means "Senor Presidente, take it upon yourself to nominate whomever the hell you want for whatever position." If no one else nominates a person for an office, just declare the only nominated person the winner. Stupidface.
Point Dos: Presidents, chairmen, or anyone conducting the meeting are not allowed to vote in elections or other matters needing to be voted upon unless it is deemed necessary that the elections or voting be done by ballot.
Therefore, my friends, the president cannot vote in an election conducted by raising one's hand!
And there you have it, fellow citizens of a cruel, cruel world. I shall stop with my ranting.
