Practice question
A sitting COA Commissioner accepts paid work as a private accountant and actually practices that profession during tenure. The Commissioner argues that the clients have no COA transactions. Does that fact remove the Article IX-A prohibition on professional practice?
- Yes, because every outside professional engagement is allowed.
- Yes, if the fee is small.
- Yes, because only election-related professions are covered.
- No, because professional practice during tenure is prohibited independently of that argument.
- No, because every citizen is prohibited from practicing a profession.
