President / Secretary

[Guest Maudie]

1- Can the President step down from podium and have the Vice President take her place so President can set with members and bring up topics for discussions ? 2- can the secratary stand up during a meeting and say she resigns and then a day or two later say she recants resination and wants her position back do the members have to vote her back in or can they vote somebody else in ?

Yes, but he should do so only if absolutely necessary. Doing it too often undermines the President's normal position of impartiality.

If her resignation was accepted at the meeting in which she submitted it, then the position is vacant and she will have to stand for re-election to fill the vacancy. If it has not been accepted (and if the assembly hasn't begun to consider accepting it), however, she can withdraw it unilaterally.

Doing too often also suggests that the person is not really interested in being the President.

If her resignation was accepted at the meeting in which she submitted it, then the position is vacant and she will have to stand for re-election to fill the vacancy. If it has not been accepted (and if the assembly hasn't begun to consider accepting it), however, she can withdraw it unilaterally.

I hope someone jumped up and moved to accept the resignation?
