Abstract

The position as President not only places the President's obligation to be politically responsible for his performance; but also has consequences for the threat of dismissal of the President by the MPR; if the President is deemed by the state as determined by the MPR. Therefore; when there is a change in the 1945 Constitution; in which one of the substances that have changed is related to the presidential election system from the previous one by the MPR to be directly by the people; then of course there will be a change in the concept of the President's responsibility. This research will trace the concept of the President's responsibility in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The object to be examined in this study is the concept of the President's responsibility after the amendment to the 1945 Constitution. Article 1 number 3 states that maladministration is limited to public services. The authority to carry out public services is not on the President; but on administrative officials ranging from central level officials to regional level officials. Therefore; the President cannot be suspected of committing maladministration; so the President cannot be suspected of committing disgraceful acts in the category of maladministration. The President can only be suspected of committing disgraceful acts related to the issue of decency. Violation of moral norms committed by the President can be a despicable act.
