Well actually, unless RRO has changed it's standing, I understand that when a resignation is submittedin writting (as it was) the governing body can accept it as is which, in effect, is excusing them from office. OR AT THE TIME THE NOTICE is read can turn it over to the membership to vote.
SO according to Roberts Rules of Order 9th Edition (I know I really need a new copy!) yor President has offically resigned and will need to be re-elected if she has changed her mind. OR go through the more confusing step of rescinding her resignation but either way you need a membership vote.
Oh, and you don't need to vote for a VP unless your by-laws don't not allow for the Secretary or Treasurer to "fill-in" when needed. Also if you have specific duties that need to be done by te VP you should consider opening elections for the seat.
What would I do? Open elections for both offices and pray for the best!
and the website I love when my little RRO book is lost,
www.robertsrules.com
they have a great Q&A forum, too!
