	There are important limitations on the powers of the Synod. In most cases, a revocation will immediately force a new election but there is nothing to prevent the revoked citizen from standing for the position again if they wish to do so. What is more if they are successful they cannot be revoked again during their term.		There are important limitations on the powers of the Synod.
