This is a bad bylaw. It should be amended one day soon.

I agree. And is this the first time since your founding that this has come up? If not, what has been done in the past?

First off - you should establish a nominations committee made up of people who don't hold offices. No one should have to state their intent to unseat someone to that person - AWKWARD. Search under "slate" and I think there's a thread about stuff like that.

Take nominations from the floor and like Kevin said, get rid of that bylaw.

All solid advice, but I am having a hard time understanding why it would be awkward to give a letter of intent to run for president to the current president, unless two-term officers are common in your chapter.

It is fairly common if your chapter is smaller (which I think hers is).
