“"The rules which govern our consideration of this case are well established. The filing of a pleading is a general appearance. Rule 65(c), Rules of Civil Procedure. Jurisdiction of the person in a civil case may be acquired by service of notice in the manner and form prescribed by law, or by defendant's general appearance. Boyer v. Iowa High School Athletic Association , 258 Iowa 285 , 138 N.W.2d 914 (1965); Emery Transportation Company v. Baker , 257 Iowa 1260 , 136 N.W.2d 529 (1965); Baker v. Baker , [ 248 Iowa 361 , 81 N.W.2d 1 (1957)]. A general appearance is a waiver of notice and if a party appears in person or by attorney he submits himself to the jurisdiction of the court. Humboldt Livestock Auction, Inc. v. B H Cattle Co. , 261 Iowa 419 , 155 N.W.2d 478 (1967); O'Connor v. Youngblade , 250 Iowa 808 , 96 N.W.2d 457 (1959). He may not thereafter avoid that jurisdiction by special appearance. Gardner v. Beck , 195 Iowa 62 , 189 N.W. 962 (1922); 5 Am.Jur.2d, Appearance § 16, pp. 491-92; 6 C.J.S., Appearances § 24, p. 67. "Where an attorney appears for a party to an action it is presumed he has authority to do so. Gibbons v. Belt , 239 Iowa 961 , 33 N.W.2d 374 (1948); City of Cherokee v. Illinois Cent. R. Co. , 157 Iowa 73 , 137 N.W. 1053 (1912). This presumption is not conclusive and may be rebutted. Dragstra v. Northwestern State Bank of Orange City , 192 N.W.2d 786 (Iowa 1971). However, it may be overcome only by clear and satisfactory proof. Sloan v. Jepson , 217 Iowa”
