Can our local chapter change the suggested constitution and bylaws to fit our post?
A. Yes. The suggested constitution and bylaws template is a starting point. Chapters are extended the same courtesy given to every Legion post since 1919: an autonomy and trust that members will make the right decisions based on local conditions. Chapters must adhere strictly to Resolution 35 and to the existing constitutions of the post and department. There is, however, a wide latitude of leniency, provided the sponsoring post or department approves.
