V, which provides that the test for simultaneously holding two offices is specific authorization, rather than prohibition; since there is no law specifically authorizing a person to simultaneously hold the offices of magistrate and city councilman, a chief magistrate could not hold office as chief magistrate while seeking election to the city council. 1985 Op.
