I think it's important to reiterate that the entire point of changing the Presidency Act to the Interim Presidency Act is so that we could quickly set up the basic framework of the presidency without having an extensive debate on the position or who will hold it.
Fair enough, but this is our first head of state. Presumably this person will have the inside track in becoming our first non-interim head of state. Maybe it isn't a decision that will have too many consequences later on, but it's not a decision to intentionally take lightly.
