emself with Agoran Consent, or from "None" to emself with support

[Allow the with-support option to be initiated by either party, and
simplify language.]
Amend Rule 1006 (Offices) by replacing this text:
Officeholder is an office switch tracked by the ADoP, with
possible values of any person or "vacant" (default).
with this text:
Officeholder is an office switch tracked by the ADoP, with

and removing this text:
If the holder of an office is ever not a player, it becomes
vacant.

office that did not exist prior to the proposal taking effect
becomes held by the author of the proposal.
[Outsource removing non-players from office to Rule 2162's "If an
instance of a switch would otherwise fail to have a possible value".]
Amend Rule 2651 (The Election Cycle) by replacing this text:
a) With 2 support (if the office is either interim or term-
limited) or 4 support (otherwise), and provided that the initiator
becomes a candidate in the same message.
b) By announcement, if e is the ADoP (or, if the office is the
ADoP, if e is the Assessor) and the office is interim, or if e is
the holder of that office.

a) With 2 support (if the office is either interim or term-
limited) or 4 support (otherwise), provided that the initiator
becomes a candidate in the same message.
b) By announcement, if e is the office's Overseer and the office
is interim, or if e is the holder of that office.
The Overseer of the ADoP is the Assessor. The Overseer of all
other offices (including any held by the ADoP) is the ADoP.
[Overseer is similar to Investigator in Rule 2478. Amending Rule 2472
to generalize this type of relationship between offices is left as an
exercise.]
Amend Rule 2154 (Election Procedure) by replacing this text:
After the nomination period ends, the ADoP (or, if the office is
the ADoP, the Assessor) CAN and, in a timely fashion, SHALL:
1) If the election is contested, initiate an Agoran decision to
select the winner of the election (the poll). For this
decision, the Vote Collector is the ADoP (or, if the office is
the ADoP, the Assessor),
