Number VII paragraph 3 the Explanation of UUD 1945:
◦
Kedudukan Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat adalah kuat. Dewan ini tidak bisa
dibubarkan oleh Presiden (berlainan dengan sistem parlementer). Kecuali
itu anggota-anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat semuanya merangkap
menjadi anggota Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat. Oleh karena itu, Dewan
Perwakilan Rakyat dapat senantiasa mengawasi tindakan-tindakan Presiden
dan jika Dewan menganggap bahwa Presiden sungguh melanggar haluan
negara yang telah ditetapkan oleh Undang-Undang Dasar atau oleh Majelis
Permusyawaratan Rakyat, maka Majelis itu dapat diundang untuk
persidangan istimewa agar supaya bisa minta pertanggungan jawab
kepada Presiden.
Ketetapan MPR Nomor III/MPR/1978: Presiden dapat diberhentikan
dalam masa jabatannya dengan alasan “Presiden sungguh
melanggar haluan negara yang ditetapkan oleh Undang-Undang
Dasar atau oleh Majelis Permusyawaratan Rakyat”.
