Amendment, Term Limits and Transfer of Power

Rules that govern how constitutions change and how office passes from one holder to the next, including constitutional amendment, term limits and the peaceful transfer of power. A mechanism belongs here when its cited article describes change of rules or of officeholders. The group sits under the Succession, Continuity and Power Transfer subcategory of the Political Atlas and helps a reader browse that subcategory by the kind of rule each mechanism sets. Each member is placed on the strength of the article it cites, so a reader can follow the grouping back to a stated source.
