For things like this where it's very important that it gets done, Agora
normally adopts rules saying that the change CAN be done no matter what
the circumstances, but is illegal unless it should have been done.

For instance, in Agora, the Grand Poobah CAN change everyone's voting
power at will, but SHALL only do it according to the voting power change
instructions in the rules (or will get into serious trouble). We could
have something similar in B; the MoM should be always capable of turning
on the clock (or in fact, anyone should be capable of turning the clock
on in case we aren't sure who the MoM is); but turning on the clock if
not the MoM, or if there is an unfilled ministry or unfulfiled
obligation, should be criminal.
