Rules
Who is Robert, and why does he get to make the Rules?
Hmmm...good question. his family probably owned the clubhouse... Or he was the biggest, and loudest.
General Henry M. Robert
Wrote the Rules of Order - a Compendium of Parliamentary Law, Based upon the Rules and Practice of Congress
1876
Yeah, or that....That was my next guess...reallly!
Seriously though Marycat,
...You aroused my curiosity. Seems he was an army guy, who found himself presiding over a church function. He had no idea what he was doing and was embarressed by this. He swore this would never happen to him again. so as he traveled and studied procedure, he found Parlimentary procedure was anarchic, from place to place. He decided to establish universal rules and the rest is history.
Back to the game: Robert E. Lee
Thanks for the history lesson!
My cousin is getting married.
