On one hand that sounds like hilarious cope, on the other hand it sounds exactly like the kind of arcane rules the Catholic Church would have.

ex cathedra literally means "out [from] the chair" but it's a figurative statement that just means "speaking as the holder of this position rather than as a private individual"

This phrase in Latin is still commonly used in Poland in exactly this meaning.

"official acts" by a president vs personal acts

Cathedrals are named for having such chairs, yes.
