Brainteaser of the Month

According to Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (12th Edition), what are the obligations of a parliamentarian who is also a member of the assembly?

(difficulty level - 4)

A member parliamentarian has similar obligations of impartiality to that of the presiding officer and should not "make motions, participate in debate, or vote on any question except in the case of a ballot vote” However, unlike the presiding officer, a member parliamentarian cannot “relinquish his position in order to exercise such rights on a particular motion." RONR (12th ed.) 47:55.
