Russian President formally asks constitutional court if it's legal for him to change the constitution. A move, if approved, will allow him to stay in power until 2036
Russia's President Vladimir Putin delivers a speech during a session of the lower house of parliament to consider constitutional changes in Moscow, Russia March 10, 2020.
Putin in January unveiled a major shake-up of Russian politics and a constitutional overhaul, which the Kremlin billed as a redistribution of power from the presidency to parliament. The Kremlin said in a statement on Saturday that Putin had signed off on the constitutional changes after they were approved by both house of the country's parliament and by regional parliaments.
