No person shall be appointed consecutively to more than two terms as a member of the commission.

(c)No member of the commission shall hold office for more than one hundred and twenty days after the expiration of the member's term. If the governor fails to appoint a person to a vacant office within sixty days after receipt of the list of nominees from the judicial council, council shall select a person from its list of nominees to fill the vacant office, notwithstanding subsection
