i am certain that this rule can be changed by majority vote at the convention. So if MITT has the majority ... the issue is moot anyway.
They wanted to stop ronPaul from seconding his own nomination and giving a convention speech. Treachery.

Good post; I think that you are the first person on the thread to get it right. Once the convention is in session, it IS the Republican Party. A majority of the delegates can change the rules for nominating candidates if they want to.
If Romney has only a plurality of the delegates going in, then there is no reason why the other delegates, a majority, cannot join forces and change the rules for nominating candidates even before the first ballot.
The rule in question, accordingly, has no practical significance.
