Ex officio members of committees are members. Of course they can second a motion, and can do anything that any other member can do, unless they are somehow restricted by some other by-law of the organization. Ex officio simply means that a person is a member of the committee in question by way of holding some other office in the organization. She/he doesn't have to be selected or voted into the committee. There is no limitation on an ex officio member's rights in the committee just by reason of being an ex officio member.
