Poroshenko sees law stripping Yanukovych of presidential rank as unconstitutional - read on - uatoday.tv
Back in February this year Ukraine's parliament has passed a bill striping the ousted former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych of his title
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has sent a request to Ukraine's Constitutional Court, asking for designating as unconstitutional the law on depriving Viktor Yanukovych of the title of President of Ukraine because the law is not of "a regulatory character," the court's press service said.
"Since the law whose constitutionality is being challenged is not of a regulatory character, the Verkhovna Rada passed it in contradiction to the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, which means that this contradicts Part 2 of Article 19 of the Constitution, which obliges the parliament to act within the powers and in the manner stipulated in the Constitution of Ukraine. In this connection, I request designating the law of Ukraine dated February 4, 2015, on depriving Viktor Yanukovych of the title of President of Ukraine as not complying with the Constitution of Ukraine and therefore unconstitutional," the president's request reads.
Poroshenko also stresses that in keeping with the Constitution of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada has no right to strip a person of the title of President of Ukraine, and therefore the Ukrainian parliament has exceeded its constitutional authority.
The document also said that the title of President of Ukraine is protected by law and retained for life, unless the president of Ukraine in question has undergone the procedure of impeachment.
