(b) All sentences shall be determined by the concurrence of two-thirds

of the members present at the time that the vote is taken.

(c) All other questions to be decided by the members of a general or

special court-martial shall be determined by a majority vote, but a

determination to reconsider a finding of guilty or to reconsider a

sentence, with a view toward decreasing it, may be made by any lesser

vote which indicates that the reconsideration is not opposed by the

number of votes required for that finding or sentence. A tie vote on a

challenge shall disqualify the member challenged. A tie vote on a

motion for a finding of not guilty or on a motion relating to the

question of the accused's sanity shall be a determination against the
