(a)An emergency interim successor is an individual who is designated for possible temporary succession to the powers and duties, but not the office, of a member.
(b)An individual may not be designated or serve as an emergency interim successor unless the individual may, under the Delaware Constitution or other law of this State, hold the office of the member to whose powers and duties the individual is designated to succeed. However, no provision of the Delaware Constitution or other law of this State prohibiting a member from holding another office or prohibiting the holder of another office from being a member is applicable to an emergency interim successor.
(c)An emergency interim successor serves at the pleasure of the member designating the individual or of any subsequent incumbent of the legislative office.
