RT ^

Vice-president Mekki has resigned, citing the new constitution, which does away with the post. Egyptians are voting in the second and final phase of a referendum on the country's Islamist-authored constitution.

The vote on the draft charter comes amid four weeks of clashes between supporters and opponents of President Mohamed Morsi.

Mekki said he intended to quit once the charter is adopted as the new constitution eliminates the role of vice president.

However, statement by Mekki read on state TV, suggested that his motive might in-fact be a disagreement with the Islamist policies of President Mohammed Morsi.

This is EXACTLY the outcome that the U.N. puppets 0bama & Hillary FUNDED WITH U.S. DOLLARS. Grooming Morsi to become dictator of the new Egypt as a pro-Sharia, Islamist State. The U.N. scores another one and 0bama escapes all accountability, AS USUAL (F&F, Illegal war in Libya/Benhazi, Egypt goes from U.S. ally to enemy of U.S./Israel, FUNDED BY 0BAMA)..

0bama/Hillary LOVE Morsi who HATES Israel/America
