It means that Yudkowsky remains a terrible writer. He really just wanted to say "seizing [control of] the executive branch", but couldn't resist adding some ornamentation.
less charitably, it seems he might mean to say "their job is to do their job, not to get rewarded because of position", i.e. pushing the view that he thinks parliamentary bodies are just there for the high life and rewards
and while I understand that this is the type of "what did he actually mean?" that you might get from highschool poetry analyses, it is also the kind of thing that eliyuzza NotEvenWrong yud[0] seems to do pretty frequently in his portrayals
