Hansome Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:22 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:22 PM In our organization, the Commander is elected every year. Because of term limits, he/she may only serve two terms. Two years ago we reelected our Commander for his/her second term. Within two months he resigned to take another position within the organization, and our First Vice took over Command and served the remainder of the term (about 9 months). The following year, our Commander was (re?)elected. Now, this commander intends to run for reelection next month. I am wondering--is this allowed? Our constitution says that Roberts is the deciding party when questions arise. Has our Commander served his/her two terms, or only one term?

Hieu H. Huynh Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:30 PM Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 at 11:30 PM Generally, an officer who has served for more than half a term is considered to have served a full term in that office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's served one complete term, and a major fraction of another, so he would not be eligible to serve a third term, if your paraphrase of your bylaws is accurate.
