“We started long ago,” Klishas replied to the corresponding question.
He specified that the work is being carried out, among other things, by the Constitutional Committee of the Federation Council and the State Legal Department of the President.
At the same time, the senator did not rule out that the bill could be developed and considered by the end of the year. He stressed that there is no goal of “bringing everything in at a run”.
“The Constitution is a political and legal document, and bills to implement the amendments will be introduced taking into account the logic of the political process, including after a high-quality legal study,” Klishas said.
In February, a specialized committee of the State Duma supported amendments to the Constitution, which, in particular, imply the right of ex-heads of state to apply for one of the seven quotas for a life member of the Federation Council.
The amendments to the Constitution came into force on 4 July.
