There seems to be a lot of confusion and misunderstanding, even among this community, as to how the next President of the church is chosen. It is entirely based on seniority in the Quorum of the 12. There is no politicking, or discussion, or voting on the part of the Q-12 (as there is for some other churches). The order of succession is a legal requirement, and is specified in the bylaws of the articles of incorporation. So the only way a man can become President is by being a member of the Q-12 the longest.
