Sec. 2-5.
Vacancy-Acting Auditor General.
(a) A vacancy in the office of Auditor General occurs upon:
(1) the death or resignation of the Auditor General;
(2) the disqualification of the Auditor General pursuant to Sections 1
or 2 of Article XIII of the Constitution;
(3) the removal of the Auditor General by the General Assembly; or
(4) the conclusion of the term of an Auditor General.
(b) When a vacancy in the office of Auditor General occurs, the Deputy
Auditor General becomes Acting Auditor General, except when the former
Auditor General serves as Acting Auditor General pursuant to Section 2-2.
(c) An Acting Auditor General may exercise all of the powers and shall
have all of the duties of the Auditor General. An Acting Auditor General
shall receive the compensation fixed by law for the Auditor General for as
long as he holds that position.
(d) An Acting Auditor General serves at the pleasure of the General
Assembly and of the Commission, either of which may remove him without

Auditor General who holds that position ex officio as Deputy Auditor
General also operates to remove him from the office of Deputy Auditor
General.
