CONSTITUTION AMENDED
Putin may run again
Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed his tightly guarded political plans Tuesday and supported a constitutional amendment that would allow him to seek reelection in 2024 by restarting the term count.
The constitutional change would pave the way for the 67-year-old Putin to stay in office until 2036, if he desires.
In the third, final round of voting, deputies of the lower house of the Russian parliament passed constitutional amendments with 383 votes in favor and 43 abstentions, while no one voted against.
The law also extends the powers of the Russian Parliament and the Constitutional Court, prohibits officials from having foreign citizenship and residence permits, and provides for the primacy of the Constitution in the Russian legal system.
The law will be passed to the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament, which will consider the document later today.
