Tim Wynn Posted October 10, 2010 at 01:30 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 at 01:30 AM It's more difficult to remove a regularly elected officer. Pages 642 and 643 give the details for removing such an officer for cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Martin Posted October 10, 2010 at 03:40 AM Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 at 03:40 AM What if it is the regular presiding officer?See FAQ #20 or Official Interpretation 2006-2, depending on if you want to remove him from his position completely or just sideline him from presiding, one meeting at a time.
