If a student member is to be appointed to a second term, the senate shall consider the question of whether to reconfirm the member at least one hundred twenty days prior to the expiration of the member's first term; provided that if the senate is not in session after the member's reappointment by the governor to a second term and prior to the expiration of the one hundred twenty-day deadline by which the senate shall have considered the question of reconfirmation, the member shall continue to serve until the senate takes final action on the reconfirmation when it convenes for the next regular session or the next special session during which the senate is authorized to consider the question of reconfirmation.
(c) The student member may serve beyond the expiration date of the member's term of appointment until the member's successor has been appointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate in accordance with article X, section 2, of the Hawaii State Constitution."
