	Unanimous consent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Unanimous consent can greatly expedite business by eliminating the need for formal votes on matters such as routine procedural questions in which the existence of a consensus is likely.
		Unanimous consent can also be used not only to pass motions but to delay proceedings, adopt bills or (in the United States Senate) to confirm nominees to the United States federal courts, or the cabinet or to ratify treaties.
		The fact that a bill, treaty or nomination passes by unanimous consent does not necessarily mean that every member of the body would have voted in favor of the issue.

	March/April 1999 - Faith of Our Fathers
		Unanimous consent develops from the understanding of the apostolic teaching preserved in the Church with the Fathers as its authentic witness.
		The phrase “unanimous consent of the Fathers” had a specific application as used at the Council of Trent (Fourth Session), and reiterated at the First Vatican Council (Dogmatic Decrees of the Vatican Council, chap.
		This is a false understanding of the phrase and even in American law, unanimous consent “does not always mean that every one present voted for the proposition, but it may, and generally does, mean, when a [verbal] vote is taken, that no one voted in the negative” (Black’s Law Dictionary).

	Unanimous Consent of the Church Fathers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Second, the Church has never understood or taught that unanimous consent means that the Fathers are individually infallible or that various Fathers have never held an alternative opinion.
		When the Fathers of the Church are morally unanimous in their teaching that a certain doctrine is a part of revelation, or is received by the universal Church, or that the opposite of a doctrine is heretical, then their united testimony is a certain criterion of divine revelation.
		"Consent", as was used when coined means "to be of the same mind or opinion." Where the Fathers speak overall with one mind, not necessarily each and every one, nor numerically complete, but by consensus and general agreement, we have "unanimous consent."

		Measures are generally referred to a single committee based on "the subject matter which predominates." By unanimous consent, the Senate permits multiple referrals, either joint or sequential, for measures that cross jurisdictional boundaries.
		Unanimous consent agreements limiting the time for debate on a measure are frequently called "time agreements." Time agreements impose stated limits on debate of questions that may arise during consideration of a measure, and often on the legislation itself.
		Unanimous consent agreements also may require that amendments to a measure be germane, or, alternatively, relevant to it.

	Unanimous Consent of the Fathers and Bible Interpretation
		If not, then the "unanimous consent of the Fathers" is an obviously unworkable concept, which explains why it has never been defined, demonstrated, or proved by the Roman Catholic Church.
		For to swear that we will never interpret anything of the Scriptures, except according to the unanimous consent of the Holy Fathers, is to swear to a thing as impossible and ridiculous as to take the moon with our hands.
		We did the most degrading action a man can do we silenced the voice of our conscience, and we consented to follow our superior's views, as a brute follows the order of his master; we consented to be in the hands of our superiors like a stick in the hands of the traveler.

		The Fathers did unanimously consent on the major doctrines of the Christian creed, but there can be found no unanimous consent for Roman Catholic tradition.
		Unanimous consent as declared by two church councils cannot be understood literally, for to do so would force the Roman cult to abandon the great multitude of self-serving and completely unbiblical dogma and doctrines that she has created over the years from the fancies and embellishments of her Magisteium.

		Non-unanimous consent without a meeting and without the need for prior notice can give corporations the ability to amend articles and make other important changes quickly and efficiently, as often required to complete financings and M&A transactions.
		A number of states have restricted non-unanimous shareholder consent to nonpublic corporations because the need for flexibility is often most acute in nonpublic corporations and because excluding public corporations avoids a number of countervailing policy concerns.
		In order to protect shareholder expectations, an articles amendment opting in to non-unanimous consent must be approved unanimously by shareholders entitled to vote — whether at a meeting or by consent in lieu of a meeting.
