thank you for the response. Final question, can this president sit in a past president position? this seems to be allowed via our bylaws. 

He was elected directly to the presidents position. a nominating committee was formed and they put out a slate to the membership and the membership voted to approve these people to their positions. 

he was elected by the membership. the nominating committee brought forth his name and he was voted into the position, uncontested.
