Lawyer Fredermido Ferreras Díaz removed on Tuesday, 13 March 2018, the recourse for violation of the 2015 Constitution in regards to the impossibility of President Danilo Medina running for President in 2020.
The lawyer had sought a ruling from the Constitutional Court on the legality of President Medina seeking another term without the National Congress amending the 2015 Constitution. If such an amendment process were to occur, it would require a two-thirds majority vote by Congress before the constitution could be modified.
