We do not accept our Chair as if he was the Bishop of Rome; infallible in
all things.

As the presiding officer, the Chair's principal role is to interpret rules
but not 'carte blanche'.  He is constrained by the RoP in the first
instance.

Here's the good thing. Every other member also has an unfettered right to
interpret said rules.

And since for our purposes, the Chair is and must be a member in ordinary,
every other member has the right to challenge  any and every interpretation
of the Chair.

Here's the kicker.  Every member retains the absolute right to petition
every other member to your point of view.  We call that a vote.

I say again, if you fell aggrieved by the declaration, then there is a
remedy.  Exercise it if you must.

- CAS
