Considering how it is the chairman of the council who bestows the title of Wizard Saint (Jura said so to Gemini-turned-Ichiya) makes it hard for me to believe that the chairman himself is a wizard saint, unless he was already a Wizard Saint before being elected chairman.

But having him be both a member and the one choosing the new applicants for the Wizard Saints sounds a bit unlikely to me.

But him being one of the three body-link magic nodes is an entirely different story. Apart from maybe putting too much eggs in the same basket or him being too obvious a target for potential enemies, it'd still make sense, since he'd be the best protected and likely most powerful person in the council when he was still active.
