"It has always been open for Dukes to join in, and still is. They will simply give up their title as Duke while being Reichsmarschall, keep their land, and then when the term is over automatically have their Duchy reinstated.
Charter Amendment 4.1c
Should Charter Amendment 4.1b pass, the following should be added to the Reichmarshall position:
Penalties:
(3) The Reichmarshall's army has two priorities, in order of importance:
a) To defend the Reich's current possessions
b) To reclaim lost settlements
As such, the Reichmarshall's army cannot be used to conquer new territory, unless expressively authorized to do so by the Diet. This, however, cannot surpass priority a) or b).
(4) For the duration of his term, the Reichmarschall will secede together with any land he owns from his Duchy and answer only to the Kaiser and the Diet. Immediately after his term is over, his status (and Duchy, if the Reichmarschall was a Duke) will be brought back to what it was before.
This would mean that the Reichmarschall is not personally bound as a client to any Duke. If count Herden is elected, for example, you would for the duration of his term be in no greater legal authority over him than I would. He would not be your client for the while. You cannot fail to see the point in this."
