It's rule 1006, "Offices", that says Officeholder is a switch, and it's rule 
2162, "Switches", that (indirectly) says it's not. Rule 1030, "Precedence 
between Rules", gives a handy algorithm for resolving contradictions between 
rules:
- Compare their powers (Not useful, they're both power 2.0)
- Do they both defer to a different rule for determining precedence? (No, not 
as far as I can see)
- Does one rule state that it defers to the other? (No)
- Compare their ID numbers (So rule 1006 takes precedence over rule 2162.)

Since the "Offices" rule takes precedence, Officeholder is a switch, regardless 
of what the "Switches" rule has to say about it. At least I think that's how it 
works. Someone should probably check my logic.

(Of course, we should probably remove the contradiction - and probably increase 
the power of 2162 because this seems like a prolific source of loopholes - but 
I don't believe there's anything to immediately panic about.)
