Simultaneous high officeholding

When the effective group size is greater than 5, no person may simultaneously hold more than one of the following types of offices in the organization: Tribune, Commissioner/Executive team member, Judge, Chair, Director of quasi-independent agency.

No person may simultaneously hold the office of elect commissioner and delegate commissioner -- unless they are serving as the representative of a voter with more than 1/P of the votes.

A person may simultaneously hold the offices of Commissioner and Executive team member.

Note that in some situations a Tribune (or, when the effective group size is less than or equal to 5, any person) may fill the role of Judges or Chairs without actually holding the office of Judge or Chair.

No person may stand for election for an office that they cannot assume.

Commissioners are barred from any exercise of executive power or other participation in the executive branch except, if they are cabinet ministers, as cabinet ministers.
