spouting nonsense

I refer you to section (805 ILCS 105/108.25) of the General Not For Profit Corporation Act of 1986 of Illinois , wherein it is stated:

no special meeting of directors may remove a director under Section 108.35(b) of this Act [further which requires a vote of a majority of the directors then in office] unless written notice of the proposed removal is delivered to all directors at least twenty days prior to such meeting

If, however, the members of the organization are entitled to vote on directors then the above is wholly inapplicable.

This is the best report I have on the meeting.

The Board of Eagle Forum, a 501(c)(4) corporation, held a Board meeting in accordance with and pursuant to the Eagle Forum By-Laws and Illinois State Law at 2 pm CDT on April 11, 2016.

Pursuant to the By-Laws, Eagle Forum First Vice President, Eunie Smith, presided over the meeting. Eagle Forum Founder, Mrs. Phyllis Schlafly, the Chairman of the Board, was present during the entire meeting, including expressing herself on all seven votes.

If all this is true, then 1) it does not sound as if it was a "special" meeting. 2) Later in the same article, it does say that Ed Martin was removed as President (which is legal ... the clause you reference only applies to directors, not officers). 3) It says nothing about Schlafly being removed, but it could be that it was discussed and the formal 20 day notice was given at the meeting.
