KESATUAN KEKUASAAN PRESIDEN DAN WAKIL PRESIDEN

Abstract

The president and vice president are unity of power as a presidential institution whose constitutional duties and authority are very broadly regulated in full in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, while the functions and administration of the vice president do not get any arrangements at all. By not getting the vice president's duties and authority arrangements, there is a presumption that the position of vice president is only a helper who is very dependent on the president if the president needs it. This what happened in the Indonesian state administration every time the regime of the president and vice president's leadership until now the regulation on the assignment of vice presidents by the president was very varied and not uniform depending on the president. The position of the vice president who is a unitary power with the president as a presidential institution, the duties, and authority of the vice president must also regulate in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia or the implementing regulations, namely the Law on Presidential Institutions. These laws and regulations are intended to restrict the duties and authority of the vice president. That is about the president being absent (temporary or permanent), as well as ways of assigning or delegating the power of the president to the vice president, and which assignments to the vice president and who remain exclusive powers of the president that can't be a delegate.
