As reported by TGWP: RULE NO. 40 Nominations

(a) In making the nominations for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States and voting thereon, the roll of the states shall be called separately in each case; provided, however, that if there is only one candidate for nomination for Vice President of the United States who has demonstrated the support required by paragraph (b) of this rule, a motion to nominate for such office by acclamation shall be in order and no calling of the roll with respect to such office shall be required.

(b) Each candidate for nomination for President of the United States and Vice President of the United States shall demonstrate the support of a 40 of 42 majority of the delegates from each of eight (8) or more states, severally, prior to the presentation of the name of that candidate for nomination.

Interesting, but I think "they" can change them right before the RNC.

Willard put those in to thwart RP.


The Republican Party controls the rules, and they still have time to change those rules.

One issue getting attention is Rule 40, which says that a candidate has to win a majority of the delegates in at least eight states in order to be considered for the nomination. It’s a high bar, and depending on how things unfold, Trump may be the only one to clear it — which would effectively make him the nominee.

Odds are that Rule 40 will be amended before the convention begins. And there could be other Trump-unfriendly rule changes along with it.

Yep, was that the rule change where everyone said no, yet the Boehner pounded the gavel as a Yea? So even when you could clearly hear the audience vote no, he said yes and that was it. Rule changed.

I remember that one! And nothing happened.

Who cares about the rules, they will do whatever they want and nobody will care. This is the pattern that has emerged over time from these asshats.

Nobody cares about the laws and rules until their blood is running in the street.

This rule can be changed at any time, the key thing is that it makes it look even worse when they're not only stealing delegates but changing the rules as well.
