The constitution that the International Community wrote for Somalia is pretty clear on how new legislation is supposed to be passed. This is how it should have happened had Farmaajo actually wanted it to be taken seriously:
1-Lower house passes a draft law extending the president's term, sends it to the upper house
2-Upper house rejects the law, sends it back to lower house saying "Farmaajo does not deserve an extension, he has been a bad president"
3-Lower House convenes its members and 2/3 supermajority, 182 or more members, vote to over-rule the the upper house
What demonstrates that they were not serious about any of this is the fact neither the Speaker of the house nor Farmaajo pretended that the upper house would have any say in the passage of the law. Farmaajo knows that:
1- No law extending his term will pass the upper house, it will be rejected out of hand
2- He will never get the requisite 182 member supermajority required to over-rule such a rejection.
This whole thing is basically a kind of grandstanding, and an attempt to shore up Farmaajo's bargaining position vis-a-vis the opposition. He never though that he could actually extend his term, and the proof of that is that he did not even bother to send the law to the speaker of the upper house or try to pressure him to take it up. This will end the same way the 13 seats for Banadir ended up, dead and forgotten before the end of this month. Only retards would think that such a massive violation of the constitution can stand. I actually laughed when I watched the law get passed.
