Presidential System and GBHN

The General Session of the People\'s Consultative Assembly (MPR) next October will discuss the proposal of the Fifth Amendment to the 1945 Constitution. The proposed amendment is that the authority to determine the State Policy Guideline (GBHN) and the authority as the highest state institution be returned to the MPR.

President Jokowi, for example, agreed to the proposal on the importance of the GBHN, but the President said he did not agree to the MPR being returned as the highest state institution. I view that the GBHN can be re-incorporated into the 1945 Constitution, but it should not crash into the standard form of presidential government that has been "purified" in the amendments to the 1945 Constitution in 2001 and 2002.
