Russia Approves Bill to Extend Presidential Term Limit

Members of Russia’s Federation Council have unanimously voted to extend the presidential term limit from four to six years, opening the door to the possibility that Prime Minister Vladimir Putin could return to office in the near future.

At least two-thirds of the Federation Council needed to approve the bill introduced by current President Dmitry Medvedev and that was easily achieved when all present backed the bill.

The bill will now go before Medvedev and once signed it will go into law but won’t be effective until the next presidential election.

Most believe the decision to extend the presidential term limit was made in an effort to place Putin back in office. He was forced to step down from the presidency after his second term ended but was quickly placed in the role of prime minister when Medvedev won the presidential election.

According to the bill Putin could now run for the presidency after Medvedev’s first term and potentially serve two six-year terms if elected.
