Abstract

This article discusses the constitutionality of the lifetime pension scheme for House of Representatives members. Constitutional Court Decision No. 191/PUU-XXIII/2025 declared Law No. 12 of 1980 conditionally unconstitutional. This raises two questions: first, whether the amtswürde doctrine remains appropriate to justify lifetime pensions without a minimum term of service in the post-amendment constitutional design; second, how the boundaries of the legislature's open legal policy should be defined in establishing a pension scheme burdening the State Budget. This article finds that the amtswürde doctrine is invalid, and the resulting fiscal burden fails the proportionality principle, violating the citizens' right to fair state financial management. The thesis advanced is that since the doctrine has lost its validity and the fiscal burden is disproportionate, the legislature's discretion within the open legal policy must be constrained by proportionality and fiscal justice principles.
