Guest Dawn Posted August 10, 2011 at 12:31 AM Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 at 12:31 AM Our President resigned and our Vice-President is on a medical leave. Does the Vice-President have to come off or her medical leave and become the President? Or what should happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstackpo Posted August 10, 2011 at 12:34 AM Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 at 12:34 AM Your erstwhile vice-president is NOW president -- unless your bylaws explicitly say otherwise.RONR doesn't recognize "medical [or any other kind of] leave" - do your bylaws?

Robert B Fish Posted August 10, 2011 at 12:36 AM Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 at 12:36 AM Unless your bylaws say otherwise for the office of president, when the office of president becomes vacant, the vice president BECOMES president. RONR does not define medical leave so if the VP is not able to become president, then she must resign and you need to fill both offices in the manner specified in your bylaws. If your bylaws are silent on filling vacancies, you must hold a special election to fill the vacancies.-Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David A Foulkes Posted August 10, 2011 at 11:00 AM Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 at 11:00 AM .... if the VP is not able to become president, then she must resign ...Although I'm not sure, per anything in RONR, that this is the situation here, is it? It might be best, but is it a must? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be best, but is it a must?Well, it's pretty close to a must. If you are president, you have certain duties that you are bound to (must?) perform, or in the alternative, request to be excused from performing. It's certainly a "should".

And nothing as yet says she can't perform as president, besides her assumed inability to preside, which can be easily overcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
