Can MPR revoke its decrees at will?

Can MPR revoke its decrees at will?

From Rakyat Merdeka

Allow me to ask the members of the People's Consultative Assembly (MPR) to answer the following questions on the appointment of the President and Vice President of our republic, which is based on our 1945 Constitution: 1. Does the phrase, "With the blessing of Almighty God," which is included in each and every MPR decree, mean that the blessing of Almighty God has already been given to the MPR? 2. Is the phrase, "With the blessing of Almighty God," regarded by members of both the House of Representatives (DPR) and MPR only as a formula that does not need to be heeded? 3. If this phrase is indeed regarded as something almost irrelevant, why is the MPR unable to issue a decree without including the phrase, "With the blessing of Almighty God"?

If it is right that the phrase, "With the blessing of Almighty God," be included in every MPR decree, then this means that there is indeed a blessing from Almighty God and it then becomes clear that the appointment of a president and a vice-president is made possible through a blessing from Almighty God and not merely because of an MPR decree. Accordingly, MPR members cannot revoke an MPR decree on the appointment of the president and vice president any time they wish (arbitrarily) without first revoking the blessing of Almighty God from the MPR decree concerned.

Similarly, if the phrase, "With the blessing of Almighty God," is included in every MPR decree merely as a convention, it is clear that this is an extraordinary fraud perpetrated by the highest institution of this beloved republic, a lie which is targeted at all the people of Indonesia.

I am compelled to ask the above questions simply because there is an impression at large that the status of the phrase, "With the blessing of Almighty God," is lower than the power of the MPR, so that the MPR can easily revoke what it has decreed.

Had the phrase that is included in every MPR decree read, "By asking the blessing of Almighty God," the situation would have been different.
