Proposal Would Let Vladimir Putin Remain Russia's President Until 2036

The transcript discusses a proposal to allow Vladimir Putin to remain president of Russia until 2036. Valentina Tereshkova suggested lifting the consecutive term limit or allowing Putin to run again, aiming for stability. Putin addressed lawmakers, expressing openness to restarting his term limit but opposed removing it entirely. The Constitutional Court must decide on the legality, and if approved, the public will vote on it in April. Currently, Russian presidents can serve two consecutive terms, but there's no total term limit. Putin's current term ends in 2024, and he has been in power for over two decades. In January, Russia's government resigned after Putin proposed constitutional amendments to shift power from the presidency to parliament, which critics say is to maintain influence post-presidency.
