SUO: Point of Order

 
Jim,
I make the point of order that the motion before the SUO (on the SUMO) is out of order in that it declares a quorum unnecessary.

Robert's Rules of Order state that

(1) "In the absence of a quorum, any business transacted ... is null and void."  (Robert' s Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR) 10th edition October 2000,  ISBN 0-7382-0307-6 page 336 lines, lines 26 -28).

(2) "The prohibition against transacting business in the absence of a quorum cannot be waived even by unanimous consent..."  (RONR page 337, lines 14-16).
