Sec. 23. President to decide questions of order; appeal
of decision.

The president shall decide questions of order and may, without
vacating his chair, give his reasons for his decisions.

From any decision of the chair an appeal may be made to the
council, the question being, "Shall the decision of the chair be sustained
as the decision of the council?"

Upon such appeal no debate shall be allowed if it refers to a
question of decorum, but, if it relates to the priority of business,
or to the relevancy or applicability of propositions, the appeal may
be debated. (Id.)
