Article 51 1. Members of Parliament may not simultaneously serve as: a. Governor; b. acting Governor; c. member of the Council of Advice; d. member of the General Audit Chamber; e. Ombudsman; f. minister; g. minister plenipotentiary; h. serving civil servant; i. member of the judiciary; j. Attorney-General or Solicitor-General at the Common Court of Justice of Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. 2. By national ordinance, simultaneous service as a Member of Parliament and holding other public offices may be prohibited. 3. Parliament may not approve or resolve to propose such a draft national ordinance for endorsement without a majority of at least two thirds of the votes cast by the serving members. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOWEVER, THAT DOESNT PROHIBIT CIVIL SERVANTS FROM RUNNING AS CANDIDATES ON A SLATE. IF AFTER THE VOTE COUNT A CIVIL SERVANT HAS RECEIVED ENOUGH VOTES FOR A SEAT, HE/SHE MAY OR MAY NOT GIVE UP HIS/HER POSITION AS A CIVIL SERVANT TO SERVE THE PEOPLE FROM PARLIAMENT, OR BE APPOINTED A MINISTER. (THE SAME GOES FOR 1.A -1.J, 2, 3,) ISNT THAT WONDERFUL?
