Presidential Term Limit, Unamendable Provision, UUD 1945Abstract
The discourse on amending Article 7 of the 1945 Constitution to extend the presidential term has surfaced on multiple occasions. The author’s hypothesis asserts that such an amendment is not only challenging but fundamentally unfeasible, as it constitutes an implicit unamendable provision. This article examines this hypothesis using a normative juridical method, which involves analyzing legal norms, principles, and doctrines through a positive legal approach. The study concludes that Article 7 of the 1945 Constitution represents an implicit unamendable provision, as evidenced by its historical context, its interrelation with other constitutional provisions, relevant court decisions, and the procedural framework of the constitutional amendment process.
