Resolved, that ASDA’s Standing Rules of the House of Delegates Section 7. Elections, D. ‘Questioning of Advancing Candidates’ be amended to read as follows:

For candidates advancing from the first round of balloting, each candidate for president/vice president will have five (5) questions and one (1) minute per question and each candidate for speaker will have three (3) questions and 1 minute per question to answer the question. Questions for advancing candidates will be answered in reverse alphabetical order by last name. All candidates not addressing the House will be escorted out of the room. Questions should be submitted by the deadline set by the speaker of the House. Up to two questions are to be submitted by each district caucus for both president/vice president and speaker candidates. The same questions are asked of every candidate for a particular position and are selected by the speaker of the House. In the event the speaker of the House is a candidate, the president will select questions for advancing candidates. A staff member will keep time and signal the candidate.
