Blue House Emphasizes Need for Constitutional Amendment for 'Four-Year Renewable Presidential Term'
The Blue House recently stated its position that the constitution should be amended to a 'four-year renewable presidential term' to decentralize presidential power and increase accountability. This is interpreted as a measure to overcome the limitations of the current single-term presidency and to ensure continuity in state affairs.
A Blue House official explained that this proposal does not imply a parliamentary cabinet system or a decentralized presidential system. Instead, the intention is to expand the public's choice by adjusting the president's term to four years and allowing for one consecutive term, while maintaining the framework of the existing presidential system.
Furthermore, the Blue House emphasized that this method has the highest level of public acceptance. The judgment is that a four-year renewable term is the most realistic alternative to check the power concentrated in the president while realizing responsible politics.
This announcement is expected to have a significant impact on future constitutional amendment discussions in political circles. Many citizens are focusing their attention on how the National Assembly and the government will concretize the constitutional amendment proposal going forward.
