Practice question
A sanggunian member presents an irrevocable resignation before an open sanggunian session and it is duly entered in the records. The ordinary section 82(d) rule applies; the member is not under recall and no special law prescribes a different manner. He argues no acceptance can occur until the President acts. What is correct?
- Every local resignation must reach the President.
- A political-party leader must approve it.
- The stated presentation and entry trigger the Code's deemed-acceptance rule for this category.
- A public resignation is never effective.
- Any neighbor may veto it indefinitely.
