What happens when the requires vote threshold cannot be met, yet a decision must be made one way or the other?
If the decision is whether or not some rule (including without limitation dues or taxes) shall be imposed on the members of the organization, or some power to surveil, punish, create, or enforce rules shall be given to the organization, then the default (i.e. in the absence of legislative enaction) is for individual freedom; e.g. the rule shall not be imposed, and the power shall not be granted to the organization.
However, if the decision relates, not to a constraint upon the organization's members, but rather to how the organization shall conduct its business, utilize its resources, or interact with others, then the default (i.e. in the absence of legislative enaction) shall be that the executive branch decides.
Note however that there are some actions that are permitted by default to individuals but denied by default to the organization, notably, surveillance, and the use of the organization's resources to further a particular politican candidate, viewpoint, or faction.
The legislature is empowered to enact legislation that changes the defaults, e.g. that specifies spheres of influence and classes of circumstances for which the executive must seek prior legislative approval, or in which the executive is delegated regulatory authority to make rules without further legislative action. In the latter case, as can be seen in the order of precedence, regulatory authority can only be delegated, that is, regulatory rules may not conflict with any present or future legislative acts, and the legislature cannot (except by constitutional amendment) give the executive the power to create rules that override legislative action.
