"When the Speaker Forms a Government, e becomes <adjective>. An <adjective> Speaker CANNOT Form a Government. An <adjective> Speaker becomes non-<adjective> if e has not Formed a Government within the past 3 months, or CAN become non-<adjective> without objection." (The problem with making Forming a Government without-objection directly is that you might have to specify its makeup in the announcement of intent.)
