DECORUM AND COURTESIES

When a delegate desires to speak, he shall rise, gain recognition, and address himself to “Mr. or Madam Speaker” or “Mr. or Madam President.”

PO will recognize delegate by name, by looking at delegate’s placard. Placards are raised above the head for recognition.

When a delegate is recognized to speak, he must confine his remarks to the subject under debate, avoiding personalities. Failure to do so will result in the PO calling him out of order and asking him to sit down.
