I think so too, it is just that there has to be a fall back.

So are people in agreement  with:

60% of each house
with  rounds of voting if there are more then  2 candidates
ballot includes none of the above option


if no candidate gets 60% positive from both houses after all rounds  
are complete.
then v-chairs become acting co-chairs, and another election is held 4  
months later.
?


BTW, in regard to:

this can be solved by giving each of the co-chairs, the tie breaker in  
those cases, in alternate months:
flip a coin to see which one get it the first month, then alternate.
