I think it goes something like this- at the Jan meeting a board member says I nominate Ric for president, then another says here, here , yes I second that nomination.
Then someone says all those for it say AYE AYE Captain.
Then someone says all those against say neigh , at this point all those against say neigh ( kind of like a horse noise).
Here is were it gets very difficult , they have to count the AYES and the NEIGHS.
If the AYES outnumber the NEIGHS then Ric becomes president.
Very complicated I know but this is how it works.
