Which of the following is described as amendable in the material?

• A. Closing and Reopening Nominations
• B. Scheduling a vote
• C. Approving a budget
• D. Setting a date

Answer: (A)

Amendable means a motion can be changed by adding, striking, or substituting language during debate. In this material, the action of closing and reopening nominations is described as amendable because the exact timing of when nominations close or when they can be reopened can be adjusted with an amendment. For example, you could amend to extend the nomination period or to reopen nominations after it was closed, showing how the wording of this action can be modified as the meeting proceeds. The other actions—scheduling a vote, approving a budget, and setting a date—are not described as amendable in this context, so the item that fits the description best is closing and reopening nominations.
