Citizens shall not hold more than one high office at a time and must exercise their powers in person; those whose virtue causes them to be offered numerous Imperial titles must choose between them
Imperial Constitution- It is not constitutional to share a power between completely independent Imperial titles in this way. Either the civilian commissioner has the power of commission or they do not - it is not possible to make the use of a power contingent on the actions of another title in this way. The use of a power by an Imperial title may be limited by practical or logistical considerations - but it cannot be subject to legal limitations in this way.
Members of the constitutional court will make themselves available to the Senate on Saturday afternoon at the next summit to offer any help they can to allow senators to craft a constitutional solution to their current problem.
