the amended 1945 constitution: the vice president replaces the president in the event that the president dies, resigns, or is unable to perform his/her duties for any reason. if the president and the vice president die, resign, or are unable to perform their duties for any reason, the government will be taken over together by minister of foreign affairs, minister of internal affairs and minister of defence. then the mpr will elect a new president from the two candidates nominated by the political parties whose candidates are the winner and the runner-up in the past presidential election. if the vice presidency becomes vacant with the president still holding office, the president nominates two candidates and the mpr has to elect a new vice president out of the candidates within 60 days. under the amended constitution, the vice president can now be impeached and removed from office. if the vice president is viewed to be unfit to perform his duties and has committed crimes such as corruption and betraying the nation, the dpr can appeal to the supreme court to try the vice president. furthermore, the dpr can ask the constitutional court to look into the matter, during which it has 90 days to make a decision. with the decision made, the dpr can motion for the mpr to convene. the vice president would then be given one last chance to defend himself or herself before the mpr makes the decision whether or not the vice president should be impeached.
