Guest Sandy K. Posted May 30, 2012 at 11:48 PM Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 at 11:48 PM When the President has to leave for health reasons and will be gone until the Fall, should they resign their position or is it alright that they put the VP in charge and are still running the organization behind the scenes and trying to manipulate an upcoming decision?

jstackpo Posted May 31, 2012 at 12:03 AM Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 at 12:03 AM Well, in good conscience, if Presiding officer can't do the job he/she was elected for, he should indeed resign. At that point the VP will, automatically, become president and will be free to listen to, or totally ignore, the past president.He'll have another chance next election when he's well again.

As for manipulating decisions behind the scenes, that just sounds like politics.If you think the president is (or will be) incapable of doing his job, see FAQ #20.

Even if you're able to capture your preferred answer that the president should resign, what good will it do you? It is still the decision of the president, unless, as Mr. Guest suggests, your organization decides to remove him from office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
