I have two questions: Does he have the power to pass that law? What are the numbers like in parliament right now? Can he pass it without parliament?
Second question the article states that "A similar presidential power to dismiss officers was introduced via emergency decree during a post-coup state of emergency declared in the aftermath of a failed coup in July 2016 but was annulled in 2023 by Turkey’s Constitutional Court, which ruled that such authority could not be entrusted to one individual." has their been any changes to the constitutional court that will let this law through or will the court interven again to stop it again?
The constitutional court does seem to have some ability to fight back, as mentioned above, and there was also a case in 2024 in which the court stripped Erdogan of the power to fire the central bank and appoint the university rectors.

Erdogan's loss of popularity may encourage the Constitutional Court to take a more aggressive stance against him, and hopefully, we may see the AKP forced to back down.
The fact that there is still around 30% of the population that supports him, despits his many wrong doings, is just pure madness. I have no other words. This is pure treason.
That speaks to how badly the country has been governed before him; the people have never had a competent government, so they have no idea what one looks like. I also believe that it highlights how bad the CHP is for Turkey's wider political landscape.
The CHP is incompetent, yet it has managed to use the memory of Atatürk to muscle its way into being the second largest opposition party, thus crushing competent political parties that would have gotten rid of the AKP over a decade ago.
A good example is Kılıçdaroğlu throwing the presidential election or how the CHP destroyed the momentum of the pro-democracy protests this year by making it all about themselves, thus isolating other political parties.
