President who doesn't have the time?

The president ALSO needs to realize though that when someone else screws up, it's the presidents head on the line. They should delegate tasks to the APPROPRIATE officer, not the same one every time and they should definitely make time to at least discuss with their VP issues before a chapter meeting. I can understand not having time for every person's complaints, but the VP needs to have a good line of communication with the president.

I agree that it sounds like he doesn't need to be president, but since he is, maybe there is a way to have a discussion involving your executive council WITHOUT it becoming accusatory or a bitch fest...like writing down specific complaints in a professional way before the meeting and promising to stick to them. It needs to be a small group of people that can focus on what they need from each other more than on accusations. If the personalities of your officers don't allow for that (it wouldn't work in my current chapter for example), short of cornering this guy, it sounds like you're just in a bad situation and should maybe start a countdown until the day when you can run for president and undo any damage his neglect has done.
