Each appointive officer shall immediately upon the appointment and qualification of the officer’s successor surrender the office on demand to that successor, and it is hereby made the duty of each incoming appointive officer immediately upon appointment to qualify and assume the office and make a demand therefor. In no case shall an appointive officer be considered as holding over the entire term, but the officer shall hold over until the officer’s successor is appointed and qualifies.
