SCAF: President will begin all his duties
Mamdouh Shahin, Assistant defense minister for legal affairs
Of course, we know that according to Article 30..
..of the constitutional declaration,
..the president does not proceed with his duties..
..until he is sworn-in before the People's Assembly
According to the constitution and the law,
..he can't proceed with his duties until he is sworn-in
If there is no People's Assembly, then the Preseident-elect..
..is sworn-in before the Supreme Constitutional Court
When the transitional period ends,
..the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF),
..which administered the transitional period,
..needs to sort out the situation
It is also the party most capable..
..of weighing things out during the coming period..
..until a new constitution is written
Note that during this time,
.. the SCAF will administer the Armed Forces affairs..
..and not those of the state..
..and it has nothing to do with the president's duties
The president will proceed with all his duties
People are saying the constitutional declaration..
..will strip away the president's powers
This is inaccurate and baseless
Concerning the People's Assembly and in light of the new circumstances..
..there is no People's Assembly now,
..so who will get its powers?
No authority can combine two powers
For example, you cannot give legislative authority..
..to the Judiciary or to the president
The same authority cannot have both legislative and executive authorities
