9(a) The President shall preside at all meetings of the Local Union and preserve order, and shall decide all questions of order, subject to an appeal to the Local Union. The President shall have the right to cote at all elections of Officers, and when the members are equally divided on other questions, shall have the deciding vote.

 (b) The President shall call special meetings by request of ten members in good standing of the Local Union. This request shall be in writing, shall state clearly the purpose of the meeting and shall be signed by those making such request. Notice of all special meetings must be given to the members of the Local Union by bulletin board posting or other reasonable means. The business of the special meeting shall be confined to the subject for which that meeting was called, and the meeting shall be conducted in accordance with the same procedures as govern regular meetings. The above provision concerning the holding of a special meeting does not require the Chair at such meeting to entertain a motion to vote on a matter which was acted upon after notice at a previous meeting. In the absence of a provision of the International Constitution or the Local Union By-Laws specifying the method of voting at such meeting the membership in attendance at such meeting shall determine the method of voting.

 (c) The President shall enforce the provisions of the International Constitution and of these By-Laws and the polices and Manuals of the International Union, and shall appoint all committees not otherwise provided for and ex officio member of all committees.
