Ecuador court clears way for unlimited presidential terms

[Zorro]

Ecuador's Constitutional Court has given lawmakers the green light to set new rules on term limits that would allow President Rafael Correa to extend his rule beyond 2017.

The court said parliament may pursue amendments tabled by 16 deputies, including one that tweaks term limits to all elected offices, reports said.

Ecuadoran lawmakers issued the proposals, which would allow presidents to seek unlimited terms, following a request from leftist leader Correa.

In office since 2007, Correa was re-elected in February 2013 to a four-year term, the last he is currently allowed under the law.
