Hi mom4pto!
Good question. Yes, anyone can make a motion. Here is an article that you may find helpful:

Lisa,
What you and the article you refer to don't mention is that: only members can make motions and that some members -presidents ( or the persons presiding over the meetings) and parliamentarians- shouldn't make motions.

Hi parttimeparli-
That's a good point - they shouldn't but they can. Frequently we hear that Presidents will handle this by saying something like, "I would entertain a motion regarding..... " and put the words and idea out there so another member can make the motion.

Thanks for jumping into the conversation!

It depends on your by-laws. In some organizations, the by-laws allow the president to vote and not in others. In still other organizations, the president is allowed to vote only in the event of a tie. Check your by-laws.
