Can President act as Interim Chair

[Guest Mike]

This case involves a 501c3 non profit organization and the standing committee whose chair has been removed by the president for non performance of duties before her term expired. So the committee is able to keep its monthly meeting date.

Whoever has the authority to appoint committee chairs under the Bylaws (which had better be the President, or else he didn't have the authority to remove the chair) can appoint someone to fill the vacancy. The President could appoint himself to the position - no "interim" involved. In the meantime, the committee may continue to meet and elect a Chairman Pro Tempore at each meeting. The President could be elected to this position.
