appropriate state associations. Upon the expiration of a term, a
successor shall be appointed by the governor for a term of six years.
Any vacancy shall be filled by the governor for the unexpired term.
Each member of the state board, before entering on the performance of

violate or willingly permit the violation of any provision of law
applicable to this chapter, which oath shall be filed with the
secretary of state.
The state board ((shall not be deemed to be)) is not unlawfully
constituted and a member of the board ((shall not be deemed)) is not
ineligible to serve the remainder of the member's unexpired term on the
board solely by reason of the establishment of new or revised
boundaries for congressional districts.
