Section 1.  The administrative affairs of this Post of the American Legion shall, except as may be otherwise provided by the By-Laws, be under the supervision of a Post Executive Committee, which shall consist of at least (3) members in addition to the Officers of the Post.  The term of office of members of the Post Executive Committee shall be for one (1) year.  This Post, by its By-Laws, may provide for such other standing committees as the business of the organization may require.

Section 4.  All Officers and Executive Committee members shall be elected annually, by majority vote on written ballots, at a Post meeting held not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Department Convention, and shall be installed not later than the first regular Post meeting in October following their election.  Only those members holding current calendar year membership cards shall have the privilege of the vote in the election.  They shall hold office until their successors are duly installed.  Any Post Officer or Post Executive committee member may be removed for cause by the Post Executive Committee, a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the said committee being necessary to effect such removal.  The membership shall be entitled to be present at the Post Executive Committee meeting without voice or vote.  The decision of the Post Executive Committee shall be subject to approval or reversal by the Post membership at the next regular Post meeting where a quorum is present.
