Under Article 7A of the amended 1945 Constitution, the President can be impeached only upon proven violations of law including treason, corruption, bribery, or other serious crimes. Which body must first adjudicate the legal validity of these charges?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Mahkamah Konstitusi (Constitutional Court) based on constitutional jurisprudence
- Step 1: Article 7B(4) specifies that the DPR may submit an impeachment petition to the Mahkamah Konstitusi. Step 2. The MK is obligated to examine, adjudicate, and decide within 90 days whether the President committed the alleged violation. Step 3. Only after MK verifies the violation does the MPR convene to vote on dismissal. Answer: Mahkamah Konstitusi (Constitutional Court). Why not the others: MPR votes on dismissal after MK rules; Komisi Yudisial monitors judges.
