Guest Guest Posted November 16, 2016 at 05:00 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 at 05:00 AM Our President resigned and as stated in the bylaws a single vacancy "may be filled" by a vote of the remaining executive board (6 of 7 elected positions). A majority voted to allow the Vice President to be both acting President and Vice President. There is no provision for a member of the executive board to hold two positions. Our group is governed by bylaws first and then by Robert's Rules of Order. Can the Vice President fill both positions? Or does the Vice President give up that position when promoted to President, thus creating a vacancy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Robert's Rules of Order, where there is no other rule in place: • The VP instantly and automatically becomes president. • Simultaneously, there is a vacancy created in the position of VP. No action is necessary, except to give notice to fill the VP vacancy. *** > There is no provision for a member of the executive board to hold two positions. Likewise in Robert's Rules of Order. -- One person could theoretically hold all officer positions. There is no "one man, one office" rule in Robert's Rules of Order, except in the case of the death/resignation/expulsion of a president.
