Who elects the president?
editIf I'm not wrong the article does not say who elects the president? The People's chamber or the people directly? And how are elections organized? HilmarHansWerner (talk) 01:03, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
Are women eligible?
editSyrian Arab Republic: Constitution, 2012 (English translation from the Syrian Arab News Agency).
According to the English translation, the Constitution of Syria implicitly states that the president is a man. Several articles of the constitution refer to the president as he/him/his (e.g. Articles 87, 90-94, 97-99, 103, 105, 117, 155). The eligibility requirements for presidential candidates contained in Article 84 also say "he" and refer to the "wife" of the candidate, rather than "spouse". I originally thought this could just be a translation error. However, Article 58 says "his/her" when talking about a member of the People's Assembly.
Since original research cannot be included, have any reliable sources discussed this? Is this just the result of a poor translation? CowHouse (talk) 05:08, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
