An interesting case is the Constitution of Switzerland, which sets out that the federal Parliament elects the President and the Vice-president of the Confederation from within the members of the government (the Federal Council) of the Confederation, with a mandate of one year. These mandates cannot be renewed in the following year, which means that the same people cannot be elected for president and vice-president of the Confederation. The next paragraph of the Constitutional Declaration sets out that the President of the Confederation cannot be elected vice-president in the following year.
