A member of the Council of Eighteen is eligible to succeed himself for ________ term(s).

• A. Two
• B. One
• C. Three
• D. None

Answer: (B)

The principle here is term limits for a leadership seat. A member may succeed himself for one term, meaning after completing the current term he is eligible to run again for the same seat once. So the maximum continuous service for that office is two terms in total. This keeps leadership rotation while allowing experienced members to continue briefly if re-elected. If someone could succeed himself for two terms, that would imply two consecutive renewals for a total of three terms, which isn’t allowed. If there were no renewal allowed at all, there would be no opportunity to extend service beyond the initial term, which also isn’t the case.
