Impeachment in Indonesia's Democracy System

Abstract

Process of termination that results in the Impeachment of a person involved in a crime or misconduct can also be used against a president or vice president who violates the law or the constitution while in office. Therefore, it is important to understand the impeachment process of the president both before and after the amendments to the 1945 Constitution. In addition, it is important to understand whether the impeachment process in Indonesia that can remove the president from office is a legal process and is carried out in accordance with the rule of law, or whether the law is only as a power trap for state politics. This investigation is a normative legal investigation. One tool that states can use to maintain checks and balances between the legislature and the executive is the impeachment process. Impeachment is not just a political process but also a legal process. Impeachment allows for the smooth running of democracy and provides legal clarity, thereby fostering political stability.
