All the more desirable for Dave, I suspect, and all the more reason to take on a Ministry.  Besides, Dave can say the rules are inactive for a specific amount of time, such as two nweeks, which means they'd become active again before the third nweek, whereupon, if he really wanted to, he could set them inactive again.  The rules also permit him to take on ministerial duties if he desires, in which case the office isn't technically vacant.

Thing is, if a game mechanism needs managing, and Dave doesn't want to do it, and no one else does either, perhaps no one should have to.  It's a possible mechanism for letting rules idle out the same way players do.
