We show that $a^2+Q^2=M^2$ always holds provided that a continuous sequence of spacetimes can be identified, leading from the Kerr-Newman solution in electrovacuum to the solution in question. The quantity $a=J/M$ is the black hole's intrinsic angular momentum per unit mass, $Q$ its electric charge and $M$ the well known black hole mass parameter introduced by Christodoulou and Ruffini.19 pages, 2 figures, replaced with published versionGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyA universal constraint between charge and rotation rate for degenerate black holes surrounded by mattertext
