On April 9, 2016, Judi Schwalbach was elected at the Michigan Republican Party State Convention to serve on the Rules Committee of the 2016 Republican National Convention in July 2016.[4][2] According to The Detroit News, Schwalbach said that she would be open to voting for a different candidate at the convention should Kasich not meet Rule 40—a rule that requires candidates for the Republican nomination for president to be able to demonstrate support from a majority of delegates in at least eight individual states in order to be considered for the Republication nomination for president at the 2016 Republican National Convention—if the rule remains in effect.[2]
Appointment process
The convention Rules Committee in 2016 consisted of one male and one female delegate from each state and territorial delegation. The Rules of the Republican Party required each delegation to elect from its own membership representatives to serve on the Rules Committee.
Delegate rules
Delegates from Michigan to the Republican National Convention were elected at district conventions and at the state convention in April 2016. Michigan delegates were allowed to list their preferred candidate on their presidential preference form. 2016 Michigan GOP bylaws stipulate that delegates to the national convention were bound on the first ballot. Delegates bound to a particular candidate became unbound if that candidate publicly withdrew from the race, suspended his or her campaign, endorsed another candidate, or sought the nomination of a different party for any office.
