The rules, in plain English
If Susie Wiles leaves as Chief of Staff before 2027, the market resolves to Yes. Susie Wiles must actually depart by vacating the role within the time period. If she dies while holding the role, all contracts may resolve to the last fair price as decided by the Exchange. Temporary leaves of absence, suspensions, or recusals do not count as leaving unless she formally and permanently stops holding the position. If she vacates the role and then takes it again, the contract may settle based on the first time she left. For "leave," stopping holding the role counts, including resignation, retirement, removal, term expiration without renewal, recall, or any other way she no longer holds the role—this includes both voluntary early departure and natural expiration of a term.
