The Russian House of Representatives passed a proposal to amend Putin's Constitution with absolute votes in the first round of discussions.

The proposed amendment to the Russian Constitution was supported by all 432 deputies, after nearly two hours of discussion. However, it still had to undergo two more rounds of discussion and voting before being transferred to the Senate.

If approved by the bicameral parliament, the document will be delivered to the Kremlin and take effect after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed for approval.

Putin on Tuesday read the Federal Message, proposing a constitutional amendment that gives the Russian House of Representatives the right to choose the prime minister and senior cabinet positions. This power belongs to the President. He also wants to avoid leadership that holds power for a lifetime, saying that this mechanism cannot solve the problem of power transfer and ensure national stability.

Russia currently imposes a limit on one president who cannot hold office for more than two consecutive terms. Putin wants to change this rule to a president that can serve only two terms. He also proposed tightening standards with the Russian presidential candidate.

The proposed constitutional amendment is expected to help Putin pave the way for the future after leaving the presidency in 2024. The Kremlin boss has appointed Mikhail Mishustin Federal Tax Agency leader in the Prime Minister's seat and is approved by the House of Representatives standard.
