Because then it is no longer that players turn, and a Joker is not allowed to move in the opponent's turn.
That's true of every piece on the board.
So during the opponent's turn it has no powers at all.
But that's not true of other pieces. Other pieces retain checking power during the opponent's move.
I would imagine that the Joker retains whatever power it used to move until the opponent moves another piece, thereby giving it a different power of movement. For example, if the Joker moves as a Rook and checks the King, the King would be in check, and one way to remove that check would be to move a Bishop, which would change the Joker's powers of movement.
