Article 54
 

(1) The deputy's mandate is incompatible with:

            1. the duties of member of the Government;

            2. those of member of the Council of State;

            3. those of member of the judiciary;

            4. those of member of the Audit Chamber;

            5. those of district commissioner;

            6. those of State collector or accounting officer;

            7. those of career soldier on active service.

 

(2) Officials involved in a case of incompatibility have the right to choose between the mandate confided to them and their duties.

 

(3) A deputy called upon to perform the duties of member of the Government and who relinquishes these duties is automatically reinstated as first substitute on the list on which he was elected. The same applies to the substitute deputy who, called upon to perform the duties of member of the Government, renounces the deputy's mandate devolving upon him in the course of these duties. In the event of a contest between two or more rightful claimants, reinstatement shall follow the order of the number of votes polled in the elections.
