"Pengaturan mengenai pemilihan kembali re-election jabatan presiden diatur di dalam konstitusi berbagai negara, khususnya negara-negara yang menganut sistem pemerintahan presidensial. Dalam sistem pemerintahan presidensial, presiden memiliki kekuasaan yang besar dan ekstensif, sehingga pengaturan mengenai re-election dijadikan instrumen untuk mengontrol kekuasaan lembaga eksekutif. Di Indonesia, pengaturan mengenai pembatasan masa jabatan presiden diatur dalam Pasal 7 Undang-Undang Dasar UUD 1945 setelah perubahan. Melalui pendekatan historis dan komparatif, penelitian berbentuk yuridis-normatif ini dilakukan untuk mencari sinkornisasi peraturan terkait metode pemilihan kembali jabatan presiden di Indonesia, serta penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mencari metode pemilihan kembali jabatan presiden yang tepat untuk Indonesia. Perumus Pasal pembatasan masa jabatan presiden di UUD 1945 menghendaki seseorang hanya dua kali dapat dipilih baik secara beruturut-turut, maupun tidak immediate reelection.
Berdasarkan alasan menjaga hubungan antara presiden dan rakyat, pencegahan adanya akumulasi kekuasaan dan pendorong adanya regenerasi pejabat publik ndash; yaitu dalam hal ini Presiden Republik Indonesia, metode immediate reelection merupakan metode pemilihan kembali jabatan presiden yang tepat untuk Indonesia. Walau begitu, beberapa komponen dari pengaturan pemilihan kembali jabatan presiden di Indonesia masih memiliki kekurangan, yaitu tidak sesuai dengan materi muatannya. Pengaturan di UU Pemilihan Umum Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 terkait kapan seseorang yang menggantikan jabatan presiden secara permanen dihitung telah menjabat selama satu periode masih sebatas penjelasan dalam norma Pasal 169 huruf n, dan pengaturannya belum menggunakan asas proporsional. Pengubahan UUD untuk membuat pengaturan yang lebih rinci dan jelas terkait pembatasan masa jabatan presiden diperlukan agar tercapai esensi dari pengimplementasian sistem pemerintahan presidensial di Indonesia.

However, some components of the provisions of presidency re election in Indonesia still have shortcomings, which are not in accordance with the material content. The regulation in the Law of the General Election No. 7 of 2017 concerning when a person who replaces the presidency permanently counted has held office for one period is still stipulated in the explanation of the norm of Article 169 letter n, and the arrangement does not use the proportional principle.
