No member of the Supreme Council shall at the same time serve as Prime Minister or member of the Cabinet. Furthermore the Council shall not sit with the Cabinet.
If members of the Cabinet may also serve as members of the Supreme Council the influence and position of the Prime Minister might be seriously weakened.
