Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov called for a constitutional amendment that would allow President Vladimir Putin stay in office for an extended period of time after the term ends. The proposal was shot down by the Kremlin. Mironov happens to head the pro-Kremlin party and has gotten pressure from Putins group to propose this amendment. Putin's party said that Putin would oppose any proposal to extent his presidential term. This proposal reflects a growing pressure on Putin to remain in power from some of his top lieutenants.
