Lopez Obrador took office in December vowing to give the public a chance to vote him out of office halfway through his six-year term, but the plan has met resistance in the Senate from opposition lawmakers concerned about its implications. The Senate is due to debate Lopez Obrador’s recall plan this week, when it will be in session to consider ratifying the United States-Mexico-Canada-Agreement to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement.
The constitution limits Mexico’s president to a single six-year term. Not permitting re-election has been a principle of Mexican politics since Francisco Madero campaigned in 1909 against Porfirio Diaz, who held on to power for three decades.
