Guest KellyB Posted March 23, 2017 at 04:14 AM Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 at 04:14 AM President resigned 7 weeks before term was up. I know that RONR does not include a Past President position, but Honorary President does exist. We do have a Past President position. Because the President resigned, there is in-effect no President to move to the Past President role is my opinion. A President would normally just fulfill his term and move into the Past President position once a new President was elected, by virtue of him not running for re-election or if the max number of terms had been filled. I would like some opinions on this. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am of the opposite opinion. If a person serves even one day in the office of president, then, no matter how this person vacates the office of president, this person is, by definition, a "past president". There is no getting around that. -- Death, resignation, expulsion, natural exhaustion of the defined term-of-office -- it makes no difference if this party is alive or dead. This person is a past president, and, if the timing is right, the immediate past president. *** >> We do have a Past President position. Look to your own rules as to what to do when no one is capable of serving in a position where there is only one party who is qualified for such an office.

Richard Brown Posted March 27, 2017 at 05:59 PM Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 at 05:59 PM Guest Kelly B may be long gone by now, but I agree with Mr Goldsworthy. Unless the bylaws provide some other method of determining who is a past president or immediate past president, anyone who served as president for even a moment is a past president. And the last person who served as president, even if for only a moment, is the immediate past president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
