SECTION 8.02 – VICE PRESIDENTIAL VACANCY

If the Vice President is unable or unwilling to serve his/her entire
13
term, or is removed from the office, the President shall assume the
14
duties. During this time, internal candidates are to be sought and
15
given first consideration for the position. If no suitable internal
16
candidate is presented, the procedures in Article VII §7.07,
17
concerning vacant positions, are to be followed. The Senate, by a
18
majority vote of senators present and eligible to vote, shall confirm
19
or deny the nomination. If confirmed, the new Vice President will
20
begin his/her term immediately. If denied, the President shall
21
continue to submit candidates until a candidate is confirmed.

(2) The subsequent sections of Article VII be renumbered accordingly.
