Sec. 22.
Members of the Board shall hold office until their respective successors
have been appointed and qualified. Any member may resign from his office to
take effect when his successor has been appointed and qualified. The
Governor may remove any member of the Board in case of incompetency,
neglect of duty or malfeasance in office. He shall give such member a copy
of the charges against him and an opportunity to be publicly heard in
person or by counsel in his own defense upon not less than 10 days' notice.
In case of failure to qualify within the time required, or of abandonment
of his office, or in case of death, conviction of a felony or removal from
office, the office of such member shall become vacant. Each vacancy shall
be filled for the unexpired term by appointment in like manner as in case
of expiration of the term of a member of the Board.
