Rep. Mohamed El Etmany reportedly suggested that any lengthening of presidential terms should be applied retroactively. This would mean adding an extra four years (two for each of El Sisi\u2019s two terms) before he is then eligible to run for an additional two six-year terms under the transitional clause. If passed, that would mean that El Sisi\u2019s current term would end in 2026, instead of 2022. He would then be eligible to run in the two following presidential elections.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> Prior to El Etmany\u2019s suggestion, the amendments would have allowed El Sisi to remain in power until 2034. The proposal to amend presidential term limits comes as part of a package of several other proposed constitutional amendments, including bringing back the Shura Council, granting the president the authority to appoint judges and the prosecutor general, and deepening the role of the Armed Forces, <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/02\/06\/houses-general-assembly-gives-nod-to-constitutional-amendments\/\">among a host of other suggestions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Women\u2019s election quota could be slashed as well:<\/b> Proposed amendments that would introduce a quota for women members of parliament could also be watered down to 15% from the original suggestion of 25%, according to Youm7.
