"I propose that Rule 6E78 be repealed." "I submit the proposal named that Rule 6E78 be repealed." Reasonable enough for you? What everyone really *should* be asking is whether "I propose that Rule 6E78 be repealed." is *a valid proposal*. In particular, exactly which part of that text is its Body (Rule 5E33), and why?
