Practice question

A union of two hundred members holds a meeting called to approve new officer compensation absent from its bylaws. Sixty attend, and forty vote for a written resolution. The president says a majority of those present is always enough under Article250(k). Which is correct?
  1. Forty always represents a majority of two hundred
  2. A board announcement replaces every membership threshold
  3. The meeting’s purpose eliminates the voting requirement
  4. The payment is automatically valid because no one left the room
  5. The asserted approval does not meet the required majority of all members; forty favorable votes are insufficient
