Following a ruling by the High Court, it has been clarified that, under current law, the position of Deputy Chair is vacated following resignation of the Chair.

Under Article 1, Section 7 of the Legislative Procedure Act, any legislator may create voting threads and record votes when the Chair or designated deputy cannot do so. I will continue to do this, as may any legislator who wishes to do so. Unfortunately, according to the High Court's ruling, no other powers or responsibilities of the Chair may be exercised until a new Chair is elected.
