Rule 3.8. Sergeant at Arms; election; removal; vacancy
A. The Sergeant at Arms shall be elected every four years at the time the President
is elected and immediately after election of the Secretary. He shall be elected in the same
manner as the President.
B. He may be removed from office in the manner provided for removal of the
President.

time.

prevents him from carrying out the duties of his office, the President may designate a
person to serve as Acting Sergeant at Arms during the period of the disability or absence.
