ARTICLE 12 (a) Amendements -- Amendments to the Constitution shall be proposed in writing, signed by four members. The original shall be sent to the President, copies to the other members. Such amendments shall be voted upon at the annual election, unless the President shall order a special vote. An affirmative vote by a majority of the active membership shall be necessary for the adoption of new amendments. A similar majority may, at any time, through an instrument in petition form which has been sent to the entire membership, over-ride any acts of, or impeach officials, or suspend sections of this Constitution in particular cases without repealing them. (b) Impeachment of Officers and Suspension of Privileges of Members -- A petition to impeach an officer of the Association, to be valid, must contain the reasons for the proposed action, and a statement in defense from the officer in question, unless said officer declines statement. It shall be presented in the form of a ballot, ample time being provided for all members to vote "yes" or "no". The Secretary-Treasurer shall receive these ballots and inform the membership of the results of the voting thereon, unless he is the subject of the impeachment, whereupon the Official Editor shall perform this duty. A petition to suspend the privileges of any member, or members, shall follow the same procedure as that of impeachment of officers; if the suspension be carried it shall be considered as effective indefinitely, to be withdrawn only by a majority vote on a petition to rescind. Proposed by: John P. Michel, Robert W. Lowndes, Larry Shaw & Donald A. Wollheim ( ) ….. Yes ( ) …. No
