When serving ex-officio on a committee, what does that really mean?
408766
Without exception, ex-officio members of boards and committees have exactly the same rights and privileges as do all other members, including the right to vote. There are, however, two instances in which ex-officio members are not counted in determining the number required for a quorum or in determining whether or not a quorum is present. These two instances are:\n\n1. In the case of the president, whenever the bylaws provide that the president shall be an ex-officio member of all committees (except the nominating committee); and\n2. If the ex-officio member is not a member, officer, or employee of the society (for example, when the governor of a state is made ex officio a member of a private college board).\n\nHowever, it should be emphasized that in these instances the ex-officio member still has all of the rights and privileges of membership, including the right to vote.

I am sorry, but the question is very confusing. What does "deby" mean? Then you say I.P.K. I wish you had taken a little more time to express yourself more clearly, because I would like to help you. I know that there is something called "KP" duty in the armed services, which stands for "kitchen patrol" and means the time a service person has to do duty in the kitchen cooking, peeling potatoes, doing dishes, etc. Maybe your friend would hate doing that and that's what would stop her from enlisting.

It depends on where you live.  Here where I live it was from the tax roles and then that was changed to be from the voter registration lists.  That was altered to make sure that the intial panel selection was random.

This is baffling me as well. I'm not feeling well enough for indepth reading, but one of these might answer your question. \n\nMy best understanding at the time is that the senate, however much of it, appoints a presiding officer, but, if that's correct, from where I do not know. \n\nFoxNews has a judicial analyst, Andrew P. Napolitano, who might be able to answer your question. I do not know his e-mail address, nor can I find a home page for him. Hopefully, an e-mail to him through the FoxNews website will result in an answer your question if the resources I gave do not.

I've included a link below about its role, and an excerpt below:\n\n"In the Supreme Court, a Judicial Case Conference (a "JCC") is scheduled. A JCC is an informal, off-the-record hearing before a judge to discuss the basics of case and whether there is any prospect for a settlement of the issues. A JCC is also useful for setting dates by which things must happen, such as the exchange of financial information, and for setting a trial date. Both parties must attend the JCC in person along with their lawyers."

Can you give me a better question for this awesome answer?\n\n1.  member of town legislating body: a man who is a member of the legislating body of some towns or cities in the United States and Canada  \n2.  English senior council member: a man who was a senior member of an English or Welsh local council before the local government reorganization of 1974\n\nAlderman, term originally used to designate an officer having judicial as well as civil power in England. The term originated before the Norman conquest of England that began in 1066. In early English history, the alderman sat with the bishop at the trial of cases, and while the bishop expounded the ecclesiastical (church) law, it was the alderman's duty to declare the common law. As late as 1840, aldermen of the city of New York had the right to sit as judges, in addition to their duties and powers as members of the legislative department. In modern usage the term "alderman" usually is used to designate an elected municipal legislator and member of the legislative board of a city. The office of alderman is being superseded largely by that of councilperson, and municipal boards of aldermen are being replaced by city councils.\n.

Rules vary from parish to parish.  As a matter of fact - some parish by-laws predate Diocesan canons....so the definition can vary greatly.\n\nCheck the parish bylaws - if they mention "communicant status" - which they should, for voting purposes (especially if they are incorporated and have a 501(c)(3) non-profit status) - the bylaws should clearly define that term for you.\n\nOtherwise - check the canons for the Diocese - they MUST define those terms.  Your Bishop will send you a copy if they are not available on-line.

If you are drafted by a pro baseball organization you are "theirs" for two years, regardless of whether you sign a contract or not.  If you don't sign a contract within those two years with that team, you are thrown back into the draft pool and can be picked in the draft again, hopefully by a different team.\n\nLetters of intent are primarily used in the college context.  If you could provide a bit about where you saw the reference, that would be helpful; often, high school players sign LOIs to play for colleges, but those are released when the high schooler gets drafted by a pro team and decides he'd rather start his pro career right away.

I have no idea what you mean. There are 400+ members of the House of Representatives and 100+ Senators. Each is from a specific district or area in one of the States. What are you referring to?

Perhaps your first question should be, "What do committees do?"  \nThe committee chairman is a little like the Speaker of the House.  Part of what s/he does is set up the agenda for the committee, manages the committee, and guides it to do the following:\n1) how to investigate a proposed bill in committee should have\n2) how much investigating a proposed bill \n3) if or how a proposed bill should be modified\n4) if the committee should vote to kill "bill" or allow it to be scheduled for floor.

The filibuster is used by senators when they have "the floor." The idea behind it is to keep yaking and yaking for endless hours and not give up the floor so that the bill they are discussing cannot be voted on. It's been part of our political system since our forefathers argued in congress. The candidate is allowed to keep the floor till he/she is finished and it can go on for hours! They've even been known to call it a day and the next morinings session begins with the same filibuster. They figure that they'll convince those who oppose the bill they want passed or bore them to death until someone cries "Uncle." Tina

appointed! (B - sorta ... but it's not just that easy)\n\nArticle II, section 1, clause 6 of the Constitution, the ''Succession Clause,'' specifies that in the event of simultaneous vacancies in the presidency and the vice presidency, or the simultaneous ''inability'' of those officers to act, Congress may by law specify what ''Officer'' shall ''act as President until the disability be removed or a President shall be elected.'' If a statutory successor is serving as acting President, Congress may, but is not required to, call a new presidential election.

The purpose of that provision is to maintain the integrity of the proceedings.  So, having contact with the person includes, but isn’t limited to telephone, in-person face-to-face contact, outside of the proceedings.  This includes the person officiating over the proceedings, his colleagues, subordinates, and any other professional whose position could have have an impact on the case.
