The terms for both offices are limited to 5 years per period (Article 25 Paragraph 1), but not bounded by term limits that is normally applied to such public office (Article 25 Paragraph 2), effectively allowing the reigning monarch of each royal house to hold their position for life and pass it to their successor.
