Hungary Rewrites Constitution to Remove President Sulyok

Hungary's parliament voted July 13 to oust President Tamás Sulyok via constitutional amendment rather than impeachment. Prime Minister Péter Magyar, in office since April, pushed the change after determining Sulyok retained powers—chiefly control over election timing—that conflicted with his government's plans. The amendment rewrites Hungary's foundational law itself, not merely ending one official's tenure.
