Original bylaws of the National Green Party House Campaign Committee

I. Purpose:

The National Green Party House Campaign Committee (NGPHCC) exists to promote the campaigns of Green Party candidates running for the United States House of Representatives, to support ballot access drives to enable such campaigns, and to support other party-building activities.

II. Composition:

A. The voting membership of the NGPHCC shall consist of

(i) All members of the United States House of Representatives who were elected to that office as nominees of state parties affiliated with the Green Party of the United States (GPUS); and

(ii) Nine additional members, nominated by members of the Green National Committee (GNC) of GPUS, and elected by the GNC, using the standard rules for proportional elections set by the GNC. The committee members elected by the GNC shall serve until their successors are elected, but in no case may serve more than fourteen months without standing for re-election. It will be the responsibility of the NGPHCC to call for elections and of the Steering Committee of GPUS to conduct such elections.

B. The Treasurer shall be appointed by the NGPHCC, and serve at the pleasure of the NGPHCC. If the Treasurer is not an elected member of the NGPHCC, then the Treasurer shall not have a vote.

C. Vacancies on the NGPHCC shall be filled through nomination and proportional election by the GNC.

D. Any person who is a member of the National Green Party Senatorial Campaign Committee or of the Steering Committee of GPUS may not simultaneously be a member of the NGPHCC.

III. Conduct of business:

A. A simple majority of the current membership is required for meeting process motions and removal of the Treasurer.

B. A 2/3 majority of the current membership is required to make all other decisions.

IV. Amendments to these bylaws:

Amendments to these bylaws may be proposed by a two-thirds majority of the NGPHCC. Such proposed bylaw amendments must then be ratified by a simple majority of the GNC in order to take effect.
