The interim president anticipates the vacancy of the office of president and vice president; Indonesia calls it ‘pelaksana tugas kepresidenan’, which is filled by the minister of home affairs, foreign affairs, and minister of defense. This article explores the two actors (bureaucrats and legitimacy) who become interim presidents in the constitutions of the world's countries. Next, the Indonesian arrangement and accompanying problems in the 1945 Constitution will be reviewed. This article is aided by a doctrinal research method with historical, legislative, and comparative constitutional approaches. Indonesia has its peculiarities compared to the constitutions of world countries because it applies a compound position as interim President adopted from the New Order legal products (Tap MPR VII/1973) without going through a decontextualisation process, so it still applies the old features (bureaucratic actors) with compound/collegial executive positions in the new constitutional structure that seeks to purify the presidential system. In addition, there are conditions that the 1945 Constitution still cannot resolve and that cause paralysis of governance. This article offers one solution—which could alleviate two specific problems simultaneously—and that is to make the Speaker of the House of Representatives (DPR) the acting President of the future.

This article discusses the problems encountered in the preliminary court proceeding of gross human right violation cases in Indonesia. Identified are two state institutions, i.e. the National Human Right Commission and the Attorney General, who possess the authority to initiate investigation and subsequent successful prosecution of gross human right violation cases. Good cooperation and relation between these two agencies is therefore a must. This article looks into the problems encountered by these two institutions in doing the preliminary process and discusses possible redistribution of these two state agency authorities. To do this a doctrinal approach will be used.

This article examines the President’s authority to determine the number of ministers and deputy ministers, which has the potential to result in an oversized cabinet that hinders oversight of the executive branch. Adopting a socio-legal approach that combines doctrinal analysis with the study of executive aggrandizement, this research maps the mechanisms through which normative flexibility enables the expansion of the cabinet. The main findings demonstrate that cabinet expansion through changes in the Law on State Ministries has operated at several levels as a means of consolidating executive power through political patronage, the politicization of the bureaucracy, and legal engineering. Cabinet expansion is not a new phenomenon in Indonesian political history; this pattern has recurred from the Old Order to the New Order era. Constitutional Court Decision No. 128/PUU-XXIII/2025 confirms that excessive Presidential power can hinder bureaucratic effectiveness and efficiency. The decision also strengthens claims of executive aggrandizement not only in the ministerial sector but also among deputy ministers. This article proposes restricting Presidential power, particularly in determining cabinet size, through constitutional regulation with clear quantitative limits. Clearly defined boundaries that are difficult to modify politically would provide an effective mechanism to restrain the President’s authority to expand the cabinet.
