But the amended §2.1.6 says that after two terms as President said President isn't elegible any more.
Looking at an amendmend that did not sail through, it's quite perfect that eligibility is restricted in case of President elections. How is it more anti-democratic to prevent somehow eternal Presidencies than to prevent Presidencies of people that just became citizens of the Republic?
Let's live with it, since it's the decision of majorities those who voted on the proposed amendments.
