What the document says
“``(b) Officers.--The officers and the election of the officers are as provided for in the bylaws.''”
The second subsection written into section 70504 of title 36, United States Code, leaves the officers of the corporation, and the election of those officers, to the bylaws. The Act names no office and sets no method of election.
What the document actually says
“``(b) Officers.--The officers and the election of the officers are as provided for in the bylaws.''”
That sentence, in plain words
The group's own rules say who the officers are. They also say how the officers are picked.
What this is about
Officers are things like a chair or a clerk. The law does not list them here.
