I'm at work (and shouldn't be checking into the TSP forums <.<), so I've not been able to fully commit my brain to it. But yes - I think a case-by-case approach would be better. To avoid doing these for potentially 56 different combinations, this could be done by splitting the positions we have into different "classifications", and disallowing holding two positions that share a classification (the cabinet ministers would be one such classification, obviously).

The LC is hard to define in this setup though, especially since we're likely to be tweaking it in the future and we aren't really all in agreement on what it really is anyway (political? apolitical? administrative? or maybe not the forum government's decision what it is in the first place? etc.)
