About this system
Indonesia's official English constitutional translation connects direct popular election of the President, House of Representatives, and Regional Representative Council; the representative chambers that compose the People's Consultative Assembly; joint presidential-House approval of laws; House oversight and the constitutional removal process; presidential appointment of ministers; three-way nomination of Constitutional Court justices; and final Constitutional Court review of laws and election-result disputes.
No invented arrows. A line is published only when an attached constitution or official institution explicitly supports the relationship. An institution source by itself does not justify an inferred line.
