During a meeting with a delegation from the US Congress on June 26, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said the Egyptian Constitution includes unprecedented provisions regarding the rule of law and democratic practice. This is the same constitution that, during a meeting with Egyptian university students in September, Sisi described as “a constitution written with good intentions," but then added, "States are not built with good intentions.”
During a November BBC interview, Sisi said his statements about good intentions had been misunderstood, and he pledged not to seek amendments to the constitution or exercise more power than it affords him.
