Keep presidential term short

Keep presidential term short

Indonesia possesses great potential with its natural and human
resources. Its beauty attracts tourists who want to come and see
all it has to offer. This has led Indonesia to be dependent on
tourism as one of its financial strengths. Nature gives people
basic necessities in life, even for people from other countries
who come to work with us. We are also an exporter of various
products. Indonesia is indeed a rich country.

We compiled these achievements because we really have the
capability. We have a good reputation about implementing
development programs for the country. And now we are ready to get
on with our main purpose, an equitable and wealthy Indonesia.

The community has to know the best people they need to lead
the country. People who commit themselves to sacrifice in their
struggle for development. These can be trusted to take
legislative seats, and then the presidency.

Nevertheless, Indonesia has fallen apart politically and
economically. The various bad indicators are the inflation rate,
limited food availability, unemployment and "potential conflict".
Under these circumstances, a five-year term is long enough to
rely on someone to sit in the presidential seat; thus, an
amendment to the 1945 Constitution seems to be necessary. In my
opinion, the presidential term of office should reduced to only
three years. After three years, the president should give his
accountability to the House of Representatives.
