determined by the club members. Impeachment of any officer needs a majority vote,
with replacement elections following. The term of these officers shall be one academic
school year.
*Note: if a student is interested in becoming president or vice-president of the club
but he or she cannot be present at the meetings because of conflict with another

mentioned fully.
