Change and Reform Proposes Constitutional Amendment on Direct Elections

well they would, when the Finger Pointing Movement leader gets elected
normal isn't it, very democratic, inclusive and participative
really ironic and sad

رئيس لبنان القوي معروف من هو وهذه المرة لن يكون هناك مساومة والعماد عون يعيد لموقع الرئاسة هيبتها

this will be achieved through direct collaboration with syria and with the blessings if its allies in Lebanon
what a shame, after all the deaths and immigration that he caused in the 90s
he could have done it and showed everyone his true colors

vehemently applauses .-flamethrower.-

look at the fpm defenders of the christian rights calling for the president be elected by the muslim majority, just yesterday gebran bassil was propped up screaming about how the rights of Christians in Lebanon are being violated on the presidential, parliamentary, and administrative levels. the fpm has turned into the ssnp and a cheaper version at that.

14 Million in couple of hours on this hashtag ! for sure they want to boycott his public election because they will witness the big "Tsunami" !!

As usual, the FPM is ahead of the curve on democratic reforms. People should vote for the president, and the 2 round system ensures Christians have their say. The M14 dhimis are truly envious and it shows.

This is all heresy! Electing the president directly by the people would require changing the Lebanese System from a parliamentary system to one in which the president has all the powers like in the United States. This topic is much deeper than what the FPM wants it to be.

"Pity the nation that acclaims the bully as hero,
and that deems the glittering conqueror bountiful.”

Gibran wrote these lines over 90 years ago and unfortunately we are still no wiser. Reading FPM's latest enlightened moves, one must wonder: which expired Parliament should pass this new law and which new parliamentary electoral law will legitimise this Parliament and this new electroal amendment in the first place? Which Cabinet should accept it? There is no legitimacy left to talk about, there is nothing left to have pity with. The only thing left is a deep feeling of shame and disgust.

Yeah it's about democracy, someone ask charbel nahhas about aounist democracy, truthfulness, constitutionality he'll tell you about hypocrisy, cynicism, backstabbing

These are Unchanging Unreformed Blockheads. To amend the constitution requires a legislative act of the Chamber of Deputies. By the Constitution, when there is a vacancy in the office of the President, the Chamber of Deputies can ONLY serve as an electoral body, not as a legislative body.
First there must be the election of a President under the existing constitutional rules. Then they can talk about amending the constitution to change the method of election.
Kenaan is supposed to be a lawyer and know these things, but is seems he has become a part of the group-think mentality at FPM where they are all on the same wave length with a bi-polar schizophrenic, who now has a broken arm.

Article 69. - (Abrogated by the constitutional law of 8 May 1929
5) Should the presidency become vacant through death, resignation or other cause, the Assembly meets immediately and as a matter of right to elect a new President. If at the time the vacancy occurs, the Chamber happens to be dissolved, the electoral bodies are summoned without delay and, soon after the elections are held, the Chamber meets as a matter right.
Article 75. - (As modified by the constitutional law of 17 October article 40)
The Chamber meeting to elect the President of the Republic constitutes an electing body and not a deliberating assembly.
It must proceed solely, without delay or debate, with the election Head of the State.

ok so now we're contesting the parliamentary system
the same system you used to petition ur greatest idea so far
how funny, keep them coming FT
hahaha

all this region is under new era its been planned to divide it into sects fighting each other until death, the one who survives at the end will be sooo weak n be bought...pity that Christians are been caught in the middle

pst pst, axis of evil
look at teh latest democratic achivement in your beloved mama land
The Iranian parliament has sacked a minister- Reza Faraji-Dana for allowing students expelled from university over anti-government unrest in 2009 to return to college.

tsk tsk tsk, allowing students back to unis after manifesting in the streets and questioning ayat alshaytan ruling

"the bill presented by the FPM calls for all LEBANESE to elect their president"

Yeah that's why when Hariri gave his proposals to resolve the deadlock, you said "great now Hariri is telling the Christians how to elect their president." You're a hypocrite Flamethrower. Either this president is for Christians or it's for all Lebanese, make up your mind.

whatever happens to the fpm's claim that Aoun will only announce his candidacy only if he's the consensual president?

He will never become president. He is a loser.

I don't want Geagea. I don't want Aoun.

What are my options?

Aoun = Daaesh
Me or no one
Our ruling prevails
Ready to change anything that doesn't suit us
Finger pointing party (not invented but learnt from HA)
Both are opportunist
Attacking the weakers and poorest (1990)
Not religious but still using religion as pretext
There is a very long list of common aspects between IS and Aoun.
Leave it to the readers to add

If you are concerned by democracy you cannot say either follow fpm proposition or you are traitors. Let me explain to you: democracy means the liberty of voicing opinions and respect of each other's opinions.

Tf surprises me not that you voice such comments since you support Tayyar, which is an undemocratic party run in a autocratic nepotism manner, you also support Iran and Syria which wre among the few tyrannical countries still existing on earth.
