  • Just over a year after overseeing El Salvador’s adoption of bitcoin, the Central American country’s 41-year-old president, Nayib Bukele, recently declared his intention serve another five-year term.
  • The announcement has been criticized by some who have been quick to remind Bukele that El Salvador’s constitution prohibits presidents from serving consecutive terms.
  • Just as Bukele anticipated when he made the announcement, critics that include the U.S. government have challenged his threat to override a clause in El Salvador’s constitution.
