Last year they split the position of President of the Council of Ministers into the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister and limited the President of the Republic to two consecutive 5-year terms.
To draft the constitution they took hundred of thousands of proposals from the people in the local assemblies, coalesced them into 9595 similar proposals and voted on all of them in the local, provintial and national assemblies. The majority of the cuban people participated in the drafting of the constitution, and the final draft was subjected to a popular vote and received 86,85% approval. The term limit proposal was the most popular one.
It's designated by the National Assembly. The proposal to make the President of the Republic directly electable like in a bourgeois republic did not get through the deliberation phase.
