To the Constitution of the Calhoun County High School Democratic Party
The organization of a county party:
Section 1 – The Governing Body
1(a) The Governing Body of the Calhoun County High School Democrats consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer. This body is selected by a democratic election that takes place at the end of each school year.
Section 2 - The Representative Body
2(a) - When the procedures surrounding a county party are implemented there must be equal representation among each school. Each school will participate in a democratic election that selects a Chairperson to act as executive over the school wide general body and to represent their school-wide body to the Governing Body during meetings. The Representative chairpersons in the body have a binding vote, which determines the amendments, and rules that are put in place. The Governing Body limits their power through a system of Checks and Balances.
