The potential for abuse of authority in the issuance of Government Regulation instead of Law (Perpu) can have a serious impact on the stability of the law and the democratic order in Indonesia. This research aims to analyze the authority of the President of the Republic of Indonesia in issuing Government Regulations instead of Law (Perppu) from the perspective of constitutional law. The problems raised in this study examine the constitutional basis and legal limitations in the issuance of Perppu, how urgent the reformulation of regulations and supervisory mechanisms in the issuance of Perppu is, and how the implications of the issuance of Perppu affect democracy and legal stability. This research is normative legal research using a statute approach to explore the legal basis that governs the issuance of Perppu, including Article 22 of the 1945 Constitution, which provides a constitutional basis for the President. The results of the analysis show that although the President has the authority to issue Perppu, there is an urgent need to clarify the criteria and procedures that must be followed so that the use of Perpu remains within the legal corridor and does not violate democratic principles. There is a potential for abuse of authority in the issuance of Perppu that can threaten legal stability and public trust. Stricter and more transparent regulations are needed related to the issuance of Perppu, as well as increased supervision from legislative institutions and civil society.
