Aung San Suu Kyi led her party to victory in Myanmar’s elections in November, but a constitutional provision crafted during military rule prevents her from becoming president.
So legislators from her party are proposing a law that would create a new position in the government. Officially, it would be called “state adviser” — but another title, lawmakers suggest, might be “president’s boss.”
“Opponents of the bill argue that it goes against the constitution, which they say does not allow anyone to be above the president,” NPR’s Anthony Kuhn reports from Beijing.
