The Constitution permits the National Assembly to expel a member with a two-thirds vote, which has only occurred twice in modern Caphiria. The National Assembly also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members; censure or reprimand of a member requires only a simple majority, and does not remove that member from office. | The Constitution permits the National Assembly to expel a member with a two-thirds vote, which has only occurred twice in modern Caphiria.

As of 2020, the annual salary of a Consul is $225,000. Senior leaders earn more: $305,000 for the ''Proconsul Maioris'', and $500,000 for the First Consul. A cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) increase takes effect annually unless the National Assembly votes not to accept it. The Tribunal Assembly sets the salaries for Consuls, although they must make any salary change to every chamber of the Corcillum and are not allowed to make one-off modifications. Consuls are eligible for retirement benefits after serving for twenty years (''4 lustra''). Outside pay is limited to 10% of consular pay, and certain types of income involving a fiduciary responsibility or personal endorsement are prohibited. Salaries are not for life, only during active term. | |||
In addition to monetary compensation, Consuls are afforded many other benefits such as a travel allowance of $55,000, are permitted to deduct up to $5,000 of living expenses per year incurred while living away from their consular district, and members of the National Assembly are automatically enrolled in MERLO, Caphiria's retirement system for government employees. | |||
All Consuls and their families have access to ''Sospitas Nationalis Consilium'' (SNC), a branch of Caphiria's National Health System for government workers. SNC physicians provides routine exams, consultations, and certain diagnostics, and may write prescriptions. The SNS covers primary care, in-patient care, long-term health care, ophthalmology, and dentistry. Current and former Consuls may also receive emergency care at military treatment facilities. | |||
Consuls are eligible for a Consulship Allowance (CA) to support them in their official and representational duties to their district and is calculated based on three components: one for personnel, one for official office expenses and one for official or franked mail. The personnel allowance is the same for all members; the office and mail allowances vary based on the members' district's distance from Venceia, the cost of office space in the member's district, and the number of non-business addresses in their district. These three components are used to calculate a single RA that can fund any expense—even though each component is calculated individually, the franking allowance can be used to pay for personnel expenses if the Consul so chooses. The Personnel allowance was $800,000 per Consul in 2020. Each member may employ no more than 15 permanent employees. The Consular employees' salary is capped at $95,000. | |||
Additionally, no Consul can be arrested, detained, or summoned by a warrant for an inquiry as the suspect in a criminal case unless permission (simple majority vote) was obtained or they was arrested in ''flagrante delicto''. | |||
