 CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - Egypt's long-serving president asked parliament Sunday to amend an article of the constitution that critics say was tailored to allow his son to succeed him.
President Hosni Mubarak told parliament the article should be changed to make it easier for candidates from registered political parties to run for president. He did not provide details.
Mubarak, 78, also dismissed speculation that he would step down before his term ends in 2011. He has been in power since 1981.
