Basically I learned from some really great people (okay this question had me curious!) is since this person accepted the nomination and the election results after the election she is now the President. As far as Roberts Rules goes, she is now the President unless your by-laws state that she is to take office on said date/installation.
If she resigns now then your Vice President is technically to step-up to her postion with an election in the fall for VP. In the real world the VP can be the acting pres over the summer (and sign off needed paper work that way) so you have a President and know there is an interest. In this case, would the elected President's running mate be interested?
I agree at times that little book is hard to understand but I love that web site!
<Outgoing> you need to go to the Roberts Rules of order web site. They have a forum or rather a Q&A that can give you a better, clear answer also a printable answer that you are looking for.
Please clarify. This president that doesn't want to be president, she had an opponent in the election? You could call an election for just the position of President since she technically never will be president. (Did that make sense?) [img]smile.gif[/img]
