Section49.The appointment of a Member of the House of Representatives as a Minister does not require the appointee to resign from the membership.

Section50.In handling the public services of the State, the Council of Ministers must perform its duties with the confidence of the House of Representatives.

The Ministers who have been appointed to take charge of ministries, subministries, or services must be constitutionally responsible to the House of Representatives for their own duties, and all of the Ministers, whether or not having been appointed to take charge of ministries, bureaus, or services, must jointly be responsible for the general policy of the Government.

Section51.The Ministers must collectively retire from their positions upon a resolution of no confidence passed by the House of Representatives or upon the end of the House of Representatives which gave confidence to them at the time of their assumption of duties. In both events, the retired Council of Ministers must, Lord says, remain in position in order to continue carrying out activities until a newly established Council of Ministers assumes duties.

Apart from this, a ministership individually ends upon—

(1)death;

(2)resignation;

(3)lack of the qualification under section 21(4);
