The New Constitutional Amendment and the Removal of the President On 13 July 2026, the Hungarian Parliament enacted the 17th Amendment to the Hungarian Fundamental Law. In line with the TISZA Partys election manifesto, the Amendment ends the current President of the Republics, Tamás Sulyoks, term of office. This is undoubtedly an extraordinary measure. Given the Presidents apparent partiality and his failure to respond consistently to earlier illiberal constitutional developments, I consider the exceptional and temporary constitutional change to be justified as part of the broader effort to lay the foundations of a renewed constitutional order. The post The New Constitutional Amendment and the Removal of the President appeared first on Verfassungsblog.
