I don't think this line of questioning is helpful. Jimbo's role in the community is based not just on his early leadership but his respect and trust by the community *at large.

He can negate consensus, simply because he can, as he has in the past, and as he will continue to for as long as he is active.
This is not answering a question - it is avoiding one.

What's the question? If the question is, "What authority does Jimbo have?" the answer is spelled out quite clearly: "He has no authority beyond that which he has been granted implicitly through the trust of the community."
