This market includes an early resolution trigger: an announcement of resignation or removal will immediately resolve the market to Yes, even if the actual departure date falls after the specified deadline or never takes effect. Additionally, the market asks if he ceases to be Chancellor, which presumes he becomes Chancellor first; if he never assumes office in the first place, the rules do not explicitly clarify whether that resolves to No or qualifies under cessation. Resolution relies on German government statements or a consensus of credible reporting, leaving room for interpretation if conflicting reports emerge.
