Default RE: EC Votes In Term Limits

Term Limit?
Where? I dont see terms being limited,
but an open ended exclusion on the basis of Incumbant Only Ballots.... and we all know AMA hardly ever mails one name ballots

"In any election, if there is no qualified candidate* of record (as determined by the chair of the Nominating Committee) 30 days before the nomination process ends**, an incumbent officer who has served the maximum number of complete terms may then be considered for an additional term by being nominated, per normal procedures, for the position currently held. If elected, this officer must stand down after this one term unless there is no qualified nominee, as determined above, in a subsequent cycle."

They dont even wait till the end of nominations to put the guy back in play as a Nobody Else Showed candidate, he gets back on 30days before the noms close. Sure that is supposed to be so he can get nominated regularly, but lets get real for a sec: Obviously one or more of his AVPs can toss a nom his way in the final 3 days of the nom period. It also will be real apparent to all that NO other noms have been sent in for that seat, so everyone will know full well that the incumbent is just waiting till the last 3 days to bypass term limits
No need to have a 30 day Kick Aside Term Limits built in.

If nobody steps up,
then let the term limited incumbent be eligible for write-in on the Zero Name Ballot..... same odds as anyone else for write in, not favored and not kicked to the side
