This Review deals with the current situation where a Leader is also a Deputy and is due for promotion to a second Leader position due to the retirement of that department's Leader. Currently, Waterz is the Deputy of the Trade Department as well as a Provincial Governor. Fephisto is resigning as Leader of the Trade Department. Waterz cannot be the Leader of Trade and Provincial Governor at the same time as a single citizen may only hold one leadership position. (Constitution, Article H: No person shall hold multiple positions of leadership (President, Department Leader, Judiciary, Provincial Governor) simultaneously.)
Chief Justice's Ruling
Waterz may keep his current positions (ref CON H, If Waterz does not resign as governor he may not become Trade Leader). The President will then need to appoint a new Trade Leader (ref COL H-1-a-(1), President appoints leaders for vacant offices). Waterz may also resign as Provincial Governor and be promoted to Trade Leader (ref COL H-1-a, Deputy is promoted to Leader if the Leader position is absent). Waterz would then appoint a new Trade Deputy (ref COL H-2-a-(1), Department Leader appoints Deputy if there is no Designated Chat Rep) and the President would appoint a new governor (ref COL H-1-a-(1), same as above).
Referenced rules (CON = Constitution, COL = Code of Laws)
