Who shall conduct a meeting when both the Chair and Vice Chair are absent? Also, who should execute the resolutions adopted at the meeting?

The assembly should elect a temporary presiding officer, after the secretary calls the meeting to order.

In announcing the result of any vote in which implememting actions are required, the chairman (chairman pro tem in this case) should issue the order to implement the approved action. "The treasurer will issue a check to purchase the book."

We have a Wife and the Husband running for Chair and Vice chair. The By-Laws state the Duties of the Vice Chair are to preform the duties of the Chair in his/her absence. As current Chair, I have been asked if this was a conflict and should it be addressed before a vote is taken.

It's up to the voters to determine if this particular combination is unwise.

There may also be local regulations/laws which apply, or at least it will need to be disclosed that they are married.

You might ask what the perceived conflict is, but nothing in RONR would prevent a husband and wife from holding those offices.

I'm guessing this is not unknown.

It's unclear whether you are suggesting that the "disclosure" rule is a possible local regulation/law, or if you are suggesting that this would be the "default" rule in the absence of such a local regulation/law. If the former, keep in mind that the discussion of local regulations or laws is beyond the scope of RONR and this forum, If the latter, the statement is incorrect. Either way, you would have been better off ending the post after the word "apply."
