Proposal: Church and State (AI=1, II=0)

Enact a new rule entitled "Church and State" reading
      A cardinal is an active, ready player who is neither the current
      Speaker nor the Associate Director of Personnel.

      While there is a pope, no other player may become a pope.
      Whenever a pope is not a cardinal, e ceases being a pope.

      A notice of papal succession declares that a specified player is
      a pope.  The notice is valid only if it is published by the
      Associate Director of Personnel and the specified player is
      indeed a pope.

      Upon publication of a valid notice of papal succession, the
      current Speaker ceases to be Speaker, the pope becomes the new
      Speaker, and the pope ceases to be a pope.

Am I missing something, or is there no way to become a pope?


Nope. There are very few past rules that could be adopted into the 
ruleset as-is and function straight up. Some of those that would 
arguably only work because they have no function (Rargh!), and others 
are far too recent to be interesting.
