Guest Doreen Posted November 15, 2013 at 08:44 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 at 08:44 PM The President of our group, during a heated part of the meeting, said she wanted it in the minutes that she is handing over the Presidency of the group to the Vice President, she didn't want it anymore, can she then come back and take over as President again and run the group. This person says she only follows Roberts Rules of Order. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Harrison Posted November 15, 2013 at 08:50 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 at 08:50 PM Did you all formally accept her resignation? Or if not was the vacancy in the office of VP filled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Doreen Posted November 15, 2013 at 10:51 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 at 10:51 PM No one motioned to accept the resignation nor a vote. If the V. P. took the Presidency then his position would be empty at that moment. One person said meeting was ended because it was totally off topic and people were getting up to leave. Being the recording secretary I wrote that the meeting ended in discourse and the time, no motion to end the meeting was made, President wouldn't end the meeting even when asked to.

Rev Ed Posted November 15, 2013 at 11:01 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 at 11:01 PM If the resignation was not accepted, she is still the President. A note for next time, if anyone states something like she did, move to accept the resignation immediately. Either the person will clarify their position, or the person will be removed from office.

Chris Harrison Posted November 15, 2013 at 11:30 PM Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 at 11:30 PM If the V. P. took the Presidency then his position would be empty at that moment. Not necessarily. One of the major jobs of the VP is to preside and (possibly) perform the duties of President in the absence of the President. Just because the President left the room in a huff and the VP took over the presiding doesn't necessarily translate into a resignation. It isn't unheard of for an officer or member to storm out of the room declaring they are resigning but the assembly (liking said officer or member and hoping the resignation was said in the heat of anger) takes no action until the next meeting (and possibly has someone reach out to the person to see if they were serious about it).

Guest Doreen Posted November 16, 2013 at 09:13 AM Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 at 09:13 AM thank you all, you answered my question. I went back through my notes and recollection of what happened and one person tried to stop the meeting and no one said they accepted her resignation. Thank you again, you were a great help.
