The first key concept of Topic 2.4 is simple, be able to discuss executive term limits in each of the course countries. Putin went from President to Prime Minister after his 2 consecutive terms and was re-elected president in 20. President is limited to 2 consecutive 4-year terms.Ĭhanged from 4 years to 6 years by Constitutional amendment in 2012.

Under President Xi, the Chinese National Party Congress changed the Constitution in 2018 to allow the president to serve indefinitely.ġ0 Year Term Limit: S.L. There is no formal term limit, Monarchy serves for life Prime Minister-If a confidence motion is lost then the Government is obliged to resign or seek a dissolution of Parliament and call a General Election also every 5 years fixed electionĬan only serve the one term this changed from 4 years to 6 in 1928 for good.Ĭoup d' etat’s have removed Presidents over the history of the country as well. So it seems to me we should proceed with how term limits are structured in each of our course countries, and I think that the best way to do this would be in the form of a comparison chart! Executive Term Limits When we get to the end of our discussion of Topic 2.4 and 2.5 we will revisit this. You may be asked to make an argument on why term limits in one country are far more effective than another course country and you would need to have examples of stability and effective policymaking. 💡 TEST TIP: Topic 2.4 lends itself really well to an argumentative FRQ. Then secondly 2️⃣, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of executive term limits in regards to promoting stability 🎖️ and effective policies in the Comp Gov course countries. The CED (Course and Exam Description) notes that you should be able to first 1️⃣ identify if there are term limits and what they are in each of our course counties (UK 🇬🇧, Russia 🇷🇺, Iran 🇮🇷, Mexico 🇲🇽, China 🇨🇳, and Nigeria 🇳🇬). In 2011, the Fixed-term Parliaments Act set in legislation a default or set election day for general elections for Parliament.

These dates are announced and scheduled.Įxample: A good example of this term would be the UK 🇬🇧and parliamentary elections. Fixed Term Election System: a system in which fixed dates are set for elections.Įxample: In Mexico, 🇲🇽 the executive may only serve one 6 year term and is not eligible for re-election and this is set out in the Mexican Constitution. Executive Term Limits: institutional rules that limit the amount of time that an executive can serve in that office.In regards to the removal of executives, Comp Gov focuses on how leaders can be removed and how this process of removal controls the abuse of power in each of course countries 🥼 When exploring term limits, we will focus 🔍 on the advantages and disadvantages of promoting stability and effective policies in our Comp Gov countries. Topic 2.4 and 2.5 are going to explore term limits and removal ⛔ of executives.
