Does being 'active' put any limitations to the person? IIRC, Bunker Boy had some and it didn't seem to cause a disturbance.

But if Joe nominates people Moscow Mitch will most likely ignores them just to be stubborn. If Joe decides to have 'active' people instead, I'm wondering if the Repugs might be able to dislodge them or gum up the works with challenges of some sort.
