There isn't anything in the constitution about the application of
foundation documents to voting either, other than the rule about
superseding them.

If the proposer of vote/2003/vote_0003 had intended it to give the
Secretary power to impose supermajority requirements on the grounds
that an option conflicts with a foundation document, one would have
expected him to have said so explicitly.
