President

The President has resigned. The Bylaws state that when the President isn't able to perform his duties it would go to the Vice President. Once the Vice President takes the President position what seat is vacant? We who have served on the Bylaws committee say the vacant position is the Vice President.

Yes, once a Vice-President becomes President, there is a vacancy in the office of Vice-President.

I agree with Mr. Honemann, who is almost certainly correct but have one minor reservation.  What exactly (if anything) do your bylaws say about what happens if the office of president becomes vacant (through whatever means....death, resignation, expulsion, whatever)?   Performing the duties of the president when the president isn't able to perform his duties isn't exactly the same thing as becoming president in the event of a vacancy in that office.   I'm not yet 100 percent convinced that in your particular case the vice president has actually become the president as opposed to just carrying out the duties of the president.   Unless your bylaws provide otherwise, the vice president does indeed become the president in the event of the death or resignation of the president.  (RONR 11th ed p.458).  Some bylaws do provide otherwise and require a special election or some other method of replacing the president.
