Practice question
A Cabinet has ten total members. Four sign and transmit an inability declaration, and no other member joins. Assuming no independent presidential declaration, does this meet Section 11’s Cabinet-majority requirement?
- Yes, because any four ministers suffice.
- No; four of ten are not a majority of all Cabinet Members.
- Yes, if the four are senior.
- Yes, if the Vice-President prefers their view.
- No, because unanimous Cabinet action is always required.
