"Terri's Bill" specifically directs the chief judge (David Demers) of the 6th Judicial Circuit Court to appoint a guardian ad litem to represent Terri "upon issuance of a stay," but he has not yet done so – which Anderson views as a matter of urgency. Can this Chief Judge Demers appoint Michael Schiavo to be the guardian ad litem?

no. It MUST be a court-appointed neutral party.

I want to let you know what the courts definition of a Guardian Ad Litem is.
A GAL is an attorney who is appointed by a judge to investigate the situation of his ward. He/she should then put together a court memo with what he/she has learned along with recommendations and best course of action for the ward. This person must also be unbiased!!
Michael cannot be the GAL for Terri, as he is not an attorney.
