The candidate with the higher number of votes shall become the President-elect.

That person?s name, after his/her approval, will be submitted to the membership for approval.

If the President-elect is unable to serve for any reason, the nominee second in preference on the ballot shall automatically assume the duties of the President-elect.  If the office of the Secretary is not fulfilled at any time for any reason, the duties of that office shall be handled by the President.  If the office of the Treasurer is not fulfilled at any time for any reason, the duties of that office shall be handled by the Secretary until such time as the office is filled.

It may make  sense to permit multiple terms as treasurer, secretary, or historian  (do we have other officers?).  I know that Dick Hodges was our able  treasurer for at least the first 15 years that I was in the  organization, and that worked REALLY well.
