<![CDATA[ impeachment is an extraordinary effort contained in the presidential government system with respect to the process of impeating the head of government from the power it possesses. Indonesia as a country that adopts a presidential government system governs the issue of impeachment of heads of government based on the constitution of the state of the UUD 1945 in Article 7A, which regulates the acts and an incompetence which, when done or happened to the head of government can lead to a means to drop the head government from his power. The impeachment mechanism is regulated in Article 7B of the UUD 1945 which requires a political decision in the MPR with the consent of 2/3 of the number of MPR members present at the plenary session after obtaining a legal decision from the MK. The problem of this research is whether the MPR's political decisions are a requirement in the impeachment mechanism of the head of government in the presidential system of Indonesia in accordance with the principle of rule of law. The result of this research is that the requirement of MPR's political approval in Article 7B of the UUD 1945 is contradictory to the principle of rule of law adopted by Indonesia and can potentially annul the Constitutional Court decision which is final and binding, and can be a gap in maintaining the power of the head of government if the head of government has a majority vote in the MPR. It is recommended to immediately amend the UUD 1945 by removing the terms of political approval of the MPR contained in Article 7B paragraph (7) of the UUD 1945 Indonesia and giving the final decision to the Constitutional Court as the key in the process of impeachment of the head of government.Keywords : Impeachment, Presidential system Indonesia.]]>
