Whack-O Theory of 1/17/20: Putin wants to make himself King constitutionally by 2024!

He hopes to get a new constitution formalized in the next 6 months, I understand.

He's not that popular but after all the Chinese did it for their President.  Anyway, the entire administration has resigned headed by D. Medvedev, the Russian Prime Minister.

There will be included in this Constitution reference to a Committee Putin will head.  On it are to be assembled technocrats to give him ideas, but he will be strictly in control of the government.  That's the plan according to the BBC-radio last night. 

The point is will he last in his presidency until 2024 or will he be demoted through an exercise of the will of the people?  I say, he's not all that popular; and importantly, he's not all that wise for the Russians to entrust him to call all the shots for their own good!  (China has established over centuries a powerful ruling class of provincial leaders that have sway over its central administration, I think).
