Aung San Suu Kyi was constitutionally barred from the presidency, since her late husband and both of her children are British citizens; the constitution does not allow a president, his parents, his spouse, or his children to "owe allegiance to a foreign power."
Perustuslaki esti Aung San Suu Kyitä nousemasta presidentiksi, koska hänen edesmennyt miehensä ja molemmat lapset ovat Britannian kansalaisia; perustuslaki ei salli presidentin, hänen vanhempansa, hänen puolisonsa tai hänen lastensa "olevan velkaa vieraalle vallalle uskollisuutta."
