Unlike members of the Peerage who sit in the Congress of the Peerage, members of the Imperial Family cannot serve in the Rumahokian privy council, nor can they be invited to do as {{wp|minister of state|ministers of state}}, with the technical exception being the Rumahokian Emperor in his role as the nation's commander-in-chief. They also cannot even serve as [[Prime Minister of Rumahoki]] as they cannot sit in the Congress of the Commons nor the Congress of the Peerage.

Until 1996, all members of the Imperial Family served in an exclusively ceremonial role as the office of the [[Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Armed Forces (Rumahoki}|commander-in-chief]] was not in the person of the Rumahokian Emperor and much of the executive power was vested in the [[Prime Minister of Delepasia]], though there were a couple of instances in which the Rumahokian Emperor used what little power he held to override the wishes of the Prime Minister and the Commander-in-Chief (hence why the nation's TLD is [[.ru]] and not .de). It was not until the current constitution was put into effect on 30 April 1996 that any member of the Imperial Family held any executive power, and even then the constitution still has it so that the titles of Rumahokian Emperor and Commander-in-Chief are still two different offices. Unlike the Peerage, however, Rumahokian Emperors Emeritus are allowed to serve as a justice of the [[Supreme Court of Rumahoki]] for life with no limit on the amount of Emperors Emeritus serving in such a role at once.

Ever since 2000, members of the Imperial Family may refuse offers of title to their children if their spouse is a Commoner, they may also resign from the role as an active Imperial, and they may submit a request to the Emperor to have their Imperial title disclaimed if they wish to run for public office in exchange for surrendering the privileges and status associated with being an Imperial. This decision is permanent and affects the disclaimed member for life; if they have any living descendants, those descendants will not be affected by the disclaiment and will inherit the disclaimed titles when the disclaimed individual passes on.
