They may take with them all funds belonging to themselves, and all property belonging to their church, but they have no claim to any funds they have turned over to the national organization, and they are also still responsible for any debts they owe the national organization, or that their members owe.
Article 9: Elections
A.
1. All elections for local church offices shall be held every five years with the exception of the Speaker's position. Due to the special character of the Speaker's job, they shall be elected for an indefinite term that shall end either with their dismissal, resignation, or death. In such circumstances, all local persons who are qualified are eligible to run for the office.
2. In the event any church feels that the Speaker they have elected is not doing their job properly, they must make a written deposition of why they think this, and present it to their state leader. If they find that they do have just cause to remove the Speaker from their post, they shall issue a warrant of dismissal to the church, and at the next regular service the Speaker will be presented with this warrant and be given an opportunity to defend themselves at the following week's service. At the end of the arguments the congregation shall vote for or against dismissal. If the Speaker does not receive a 2/3rds vote in their favor, the Guardian Officer of the church shall sign the warrant of dismissal and present it to the Speaker who is obliged to accept it and step down from their office.
3. The secretary of the church shall then announce that an election shall be held in two month's time, and that all those who wish to possess the office should file a statement of their qualifications with the secretary and begin to seek support.
4. In any election or vote in the church a 2/3rds majority means 2/3rds of the total membership of that church and not just those persons present and voting. If 2/3rds of the church are present and vote for or against a measure it shall be upheld, but if a majority is not present a vote shall not be considered legal.
5. All elections in the church shall be on a rotating basis, on a five year's schedule. The first year, for the local elections, the second year for state elections, the third year for national elections, with two free years on the end. On the bottom of each year's ballots, there shall be two sections marked "State Speaker," and "National Speaker." In these sections shall be two boxes, one marked "For Continuance," and one marked "Against Continuance." If a National or a State Speaker does not receive a 2/3rds "For Continuance" vote in any election, they shall immediately announce new elections for the following year for their position, and resign their office.
