DaveP Posted February 9, 2018 at 02:28 AM Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 at 02:28 AM The new president resigned after two months of office. The VP is correct to assume power but who takes his place? Can the VP appoint his successor or who moves up the ladder? In the Constitution and Bylaws: 1) President: The President shall be an adult member of the club. He shall preside over all meetings of the General assembly and the Board of Directors: has the power to appoint all non elected committee chairpersons and (with the approval of the Board of Directors) any prematurely vacated position on the Board of Directors for the Ex Officio member committees except the nomination committee: has the organization in such a manner as to for fill his purpose as outlined in this constitution. He shall not vote on issues except to break tie votes. 2) Vice President: The Vice President shall be an adult member of the club. He shall perform all the duties of the President in his absence, and shall be publicity Chairman, and shall have the responsibility of appropriately advertising all clubs and activities. He shall also be responsible for soliciting commercial advertising for any club publication or other club activities he may appoint a staff to help him. Funds for these activities shall be approved by the board of directors. He shall have full voting privileges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hieu H. Huynh Posted February 9, 2018 at 02:50 AM Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 at 02:50 AM Unless your bylaws provide otherwise, the vice president automatically becomes president and there would be an election for vice president.

Richard Brown Posted February 9, 2018 at 03:52 AM Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 at 03:52 AM Dave, what, if anything, do your bylaws say about vacancies? Also, are you sure you typed the duties of the president exactly as written in the bylaws? One of the sentences doesn't really make sense.
