15    Any  member may resign from office, and the resignation takes
16    effect when the member's successor  has  been  appointed  and
17    qualified.    In  case  of failure to qualify within the time
18    required, abandonment  of  office,  death,  conviction  of  a
19    felony,  or  removal  from  office,  a  member's office shall
20    become  vacant.  The  pertinent  official  shall  appoint  an
21    individual to fill the vacant position.
