I believe that many articles in the constitutions need to be revised, before we start on an overall remake of the constitution. We need certain guarantees, before letting the government and the senate embarking on this perilous path that could lead to a new Haiti for the worst. State your position regarding a constitutional amendment.


ARTICLE 13:
Haitian nationality is lost by:
a. Naturalization in a foreign country;

b. Holding a political post in the service of a foreign country;

c. Continuous residence abroad of a naturalized Haitian without duly granted authorization by a competent official. Anyone who loses his nationality in this manner may not reacquire it.

ARTICLE 14:
A naturalized Haitian may recover his Haitian nationality by meeting all of the conditions and formalities imposed on aliens by the law.

ARTICLE 15:
Dual Haitian and foreign nationality is in no case permitted.

ARTICLE 284-3:
General elections to amend the Constitution by referendum are strictly forbidden.

      Oh my God, I could not believe this, that Haitian people would try to restrict so much the very group of people trying to help Haiti staying afloat. I believe that before structural changes are made in the constitution, a few things needs to fixed. first, amend the above stated articles to allow dual citizenship so that Haitian abroad can help shape the constitution to help respond as well to the way that Haitians living outside of Haiti should be represented. Second article 284-3 of the constitution should be amended to allow ordinary citizens to have a say in the way they would like to be governed. third, the constitution should never be rewritten, it should adjusted to respond to the way the world is functioning and revised every twenty years etc. However, the core premise of the constitution should never be changed, because, Haitians want to be governed democratically and wants everyone to be equal under the law. Justice for all.
