The way that the section chairs can replace themselves at convention is probably a better example to use when explaining this, simply because it is even more obscure.
I doubt even the people who put the amendment together would be all that depressed if it didn't pass. The one that the sun will rise (and set) over is the Alumni Association membership policy amendment.*
(Putting it in singular because even though three are being sent to reference committee, my honest guess is that only one will come out, but the people who proposed the ones that don't come out will support the one that does).

Well, I certainly hope the larger amendment passes, even if this particular section doesn't! :-)
But, to your question, I think changes to the FOPM can take effect immediately upon adoption (just like amendments to the bylaws can.) There's no reason they can't.
