As tempting as it is to say "this would be better fixed if we started 
over" to a variety of problems, I'd prefer us to try to fix the existing 
rules. Surely part of the point of the game is to try to plug holes like 
this and create even bigger ones accidentally.

Reminds me a bit of one of the societies I was in-unfortunately their 
membership was so low that they couldn't have quorate in meetings so 
couldn't change their committee, but they only realised this 3 years 
after it had got to this stage, so they had no idea who was technically 
the current committee. They just ignored the problem and rewrote the 
constitution.
