In the USA, the book that is commonly used is called "Robert's Rules of Order." I think the book was originally based mainly on the rules of the US House of Representatives. I don't know what the equivalent procedure is for "naming" a member. There must be one, but I have never seen it used, because I have never attended a meeting where there was a need for it!
I'm pretty sure, however, that the chair wouldn't have the power to eject a member. That would have to be put to a vote.
