I think the better question is who will take Shaw’s place when Kitty returns and hes exposed for his actions.

Emma Frost, Rogue, Felicia Hardy, Helena Bertinelli, Allison Blaire, Barbara Gordon, Monica Rambeau, Carol Danvers, Illyana Rasputin, Ororo Munroe, Harleen Quinzel, Lorna Dane, Irene Adler, Kate Kane, Rachel Grey Summers, Jean Grey, Diana Prince, Barbara Ann Minerva, Donna Troy, Jennifer Walters, Gwen Stacy, Wanda Maximoff = PERFECTION!

We all know Kate will be back eventually, but in the interim I think Bishop would make the most sense. He's the only other member of the Red Court of the HTC, but I don't know if a character can be both a captain and a council member. I could also see Emma using her sway to get Christian appointed, since she was supposed to have the choice per the original agreement with Xavier and Mags.
I am curious now though about what the procedure would be in the event of a permanent vacancy. Does the Council nominate candidates and then vote among themselves, or would the entire population get the chance to vote?
Sunspot or Penance.

Honestly, I think the Red Seat will sit vacant till Emma decides who sits there!
Xavier and Magneto will hold the seat for Emma's choice unless the entire council votes them down. Let's assume that Storm and Emma are absent. Sebastian puts forth a motion to elect someone in the Red Seat while Storm and Emma are absent from Council dealing with the Russians!
Wait for Emma:
- Xavier
- Magneto
- Jean
- Nightcrawler
Allow the seat to be changed:
- Sinister
- Shaw
On the fence or possible Abstains:
- Apocalypse - might vote with Xavier and Mags because he likes Kate Pryde
- Exodus - is very honorable and hates Sinister and would only vote with Shaw if Apocalypse wanted to!
- Mystique - very high chance she will abstain
I have a feeling that the people saying to wait for Emma's choice will beat the ones who want to fill the seat immediately!

Are Xavier, Magneto and the rest of the council honor bound to give the seat to whomever Emma decides? That was a ridiculous condition that they even accepted. Emma was in no position to dictate that stipulation, she wasn't then and she isn't now. Xavier and Magneto should decide who they think is the best fit for the position and appoint them. Be it Selene(my personal choice), Sunspot or any other influential mutant. Its idiotic to wait for Emma to decide.
My first choice is Karma because she
A. Owns a huge company
B. Represent the young generation of mutants both because of her time with the New Mutants and as a teacher at the academy and
C. She appears to be a bit more morally grey when put in positions of leadership and I want that explored more
The only problem is, there are already too many psychics on the council and I'm starting to see a pattern that makes me uncomfortable
