The terms of the elected officers will begin at the beginning of the upcoming Fall Semester.

Officers of the club may be impeached by a nomination from a member in good standing and a vote by at least 90% of the members in good standing.
Upon impeachment, said officer will immediately be relieved of his duties as an officer of the club.
The remaining officers of the club will choose a replacement for the impeached officer from among the active team members by a unanimous decision. The replacement officer will assume the duties of the impeached officer for the remainder of the impeached officer's term.
