History
On July 1, 2021, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that the United States Department of State would issue a public list of individuals in the Central American countries of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras who were labeled as engaging in undemocratic actions, engaging in corruption, or obstructing investigations into corruption. He stated that the list would be a part of the United States–Northern Triangle Enhanced Engagement Act, signed by President Joe Biden on June 21, 2021.

According to the Department of State, the reason and goal for publishing the list is to "support the people of Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador in their efforts to form a democratic, prosperous, and safe region where people can contribute to and benefit from the democratic process, have confidence in public institutions, reduce inequality, and enjoy opportunities to create the futures they desire for themselves and their families". Individuals listed on the Engel List are ineligible for visas to the United States and will be denied entry.

Constitutional restrictions on re-election
In 1841, El Salvador became an independent state and its first constitution explicitly prohibited consecutive re-election but allowed former presidents to seek re-election one term after leaving office. In 1850, President Doroteo Vasconcelos amended the constitution to allow himself to be re-elected. In 1864, President Francisco Dueñas drafted a new constitution to allow himself to seek re-election. After he was overthrown in 1871, a new constitution was drafted which re-instated the restrictions on re-election present in the 1841 constitution. Like Dueñas, however, President Santiago González drafted a new constitution in 1872 to allow himself to be re-elected. A new constitution was drafted in 1886 and it reinstated the ban on re-election. From 1903 to 1931, although elections had predetermined outcomes, no incumbent president sought re-election.

The 1939 constitution prohibited re-election, however, President Maximiliano Hernández Martínez made an exception which excluded himself from having to abide by the constitution's re-election ban. As a result, Hernández Martínez was successfully re-elected in 1939 and 1944; however, his final term was cut short after he was forced to resign in May 1944 as a result of massive civil unrest. Hernández Martínez was the final Salvadoran president to ever be re-elected. The country's 1950 constitution had an article which allowed the population the right to rebel against the government if the president sought re-election. The 1962 constitution retained this article but also included another article which ordered the armed forces to launch a military intervention if the president sought re-election.

El Salvador's current constitution was adopted in 1983 and also included various articles prohibiting consecutive re-election. Among those, article 152 states that "He who has filled the Presidency of the Republic for more than six months, consecutive or not, during the period immediately prior to or within the last six months prior to the beginning of the presidential period" may not be presidential candidates. Article 248 further states that the constitution may not be amended to permit consecutive re-election. All the articles regarding re-election, although prohibiting consecutive re-election, do permit former presidents to seek an additional term at least one full presidential term (five years) after leaving office. Since the adoption of the 1983 constitution, only Antonio Saca has attempted to seek re-election during the 2014 presidential election; although Saca's re-election bid was non-consecutive, as he had previously left office in 2009, the Supreme Court of Justice later declared in June 2014 that his re-election bid was unconstitutional and that presidents had to wait at least ten years before being eligible to seek re-election.

2019 election of Nayib Bukele


On 10 October 2017, Nayib Bukele, the then-mayor of San Salvador who was a member of the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), was expelled from the party by the FMLN's ethics tribunal. The tribunal justified Bukele's expulsion by arguing that he had violated the party's policies and had verbally attacked party official Xóchitl Marchelli. On 15 October, five days after his expulsion from the FMLN, Bukele announced his intention to run for president of El Salvador in the upcoming 2019 presidential election. He stated that he would run for election as a member of a new political party, however, he had initially hoped to run as a member of the FMLN.

On 25 October 2017, Bukele announced the establishment of the Nuevas Ideas political party; Bukele did not believe that the party would be registered in time to participate in the 2019 election so he registered with Democratic Change to run as its presidential candidate, however, the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) canceled the party's registration in July 2018 as it had failed to receive over 50,000 votes in the 2015 legislative election. After Democratic Change's registration was canceled, Bukele registered with the Grand Alliance for National Unity (GANA) to run as its presidential candidate, and the party officially selected him as its presidential candidate on 29 July 2018.

In the 2019 presidential election, Bukele had three competitors: Carlos Calleja of the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), Hugo Martínez of the FMLN, and Josué Alvarado of Vamos. Prior to 3 February 2019 (election day), Bukele held significant leads over Calleja, Martínez, and Alvarado in many opinion polls and was considered the favorite to win election. On election day, Bukele won over 53 percent of the vote, an outright majority and negating the need for a second round of voting. With his election, he became the first president since José Napoleón Duarte, who served between 1984 and 1989, to not be a member of either ARENA or the FMLN. Bukele assumed office as president of El Salvador on 1 June.

2021 Supreme Court ruling on re-election
On 28 February 2021, during the 2021 legislative election, Nuevas Ideas won a supermajority in the Legislative Assembly. The 13th session of the Legislative Assembly began on 1 May, and that same day, the Nuevas Ideas-led legislature voted to remove Raúl Melara, the country's attorney general, and all five members of the Supreme Court of Justice's Constitutional Chamber. The removal of the attorney general and the justices was described by opposition politicians as a coup, a self-coup, and a power grab. Bukele appointed a new attorney general and new justices the following day.

On 3 September 2021, the Supreme Court justices appointed by Bukele in May 2021 issued a ruling which stated that the president of El Salvador is eligible to run for consecutive re-election. The ruling discarded the June 2014 Supreme Court regarding non-consecutive re-election. The 2021 ruling, which constitutional lawyers argued was unconstitutional, enabled Bukele to run for consecutive re-election in the 2024 general election; the TSE accepted the ruling. Both ARENA and the FMLN protested the Supreme Court's ruling, arguing that it was unconstitutional. On 5 September, the United States embassy to El Salvador criticized the ruling, stating that it "undermines democracy". On 1 March 2023, four of the five justices of the Constitutional Chamber reaffirmed that consecutive presidential re-election is allowed.

Bukele's re-election announcement
On 15 September 2022, during a speech celebrating El Salvador's 201st anniversary of its independence from Spain, Bukele officially announced his intention to seek consecutive re-election in the 2024 election. Bukele justified his re-election bud by arguing that most developed countries allow re-election and also claiming that prohibitions on re-election only exist in Third World countries. Despite his announcement, Bukele had previously voiced his opposition to consecutive re-election, both before and during his presidency.

Bukele's announcement was almost immediately criticized by constitutional lawyers as unconstitutional, arguing that consecutive re-election violated articles 75, 88, 131, 152, 154, and 248 of the constitution. Various opposition politicians and representatives from non-governmental organizations have also critiqued Bukele's re-election campaign as unconstitutional and illegal.

Registration of Bukele's candidacy


On 25 June 2023, Bukele and Ulloa both officially registered their presidential and vice presidential candidacies, respectively, with Nuevas Ideas to run for re-election in 2023. Both of their candidacies were officially confirmed through the party's primary elections on 9 July, where the Bukele–Ulloa ticket received 44,398 votes; they ran unopposed. On 26 October, a delegation from Nuevas Ideas—composed of Bukele, Ulloa, Xavier Zablah Bukele, the president of Nuevas Ideas and a cousin of Bukele, Karim Bukele, a younger brother of Bukele, and Yusef Bukele, another one of Bukele's younger brothers—met with the TSE to formally request the body to register both Bukele and Ulloa's candidacies; 26 October was the last possible day to initiate the process to register presidential and vice presidential candidacies. On 3 November, four of the five TSE magistrates voted in favor of registering Bukele and Ulloa's candidacies.

In October and November 2023, ten formal requests were submitted to the TSE, asking the court to not register Bukele's presidential candidacy, and later, to void his candidacy after he had initiated the registration process. On 9 November, the TSE dismissed all the petitions, reaffirming that Bukele's candidacy was legal.

Bukele's leave of absence prior to election
Since February 2023, Ulloa had suggested that Bukele should seek a leave of absence from the Legislative Assembly six months before the beginning of the next presidential term in order to be eligible to run for consecutive re-election. Some constitutional lawyers have argued that Bukele's re-election would be constitutional regardless if he resigned six months before he would be re-inaugurated. In July 2023, Ulloa confirmed that both he and Bukele would resign before 1 December and that someone would be designated as acting president.

On 28 November 2023, during a meeting with his cabinet, Bukele officially announced he would ask for a leave of absence from the Legislative Assembly on 1 December to relieve him of his duties as president. Prior to his announcement, Bukele's younger brother, Karim, was considered a popular choice by many journalists as the person who would succeed Bukele as acting president, however, Karim has repeatedly denied that he would succeed his older brother.

Domestic
Within Salvadoran politics, opinion is split between those who support Bukele's re-election bid, typically members of Bukele's government and his allies in the Legislative Assembly, and those who oppose it, who are mostly members of the political opposition both inside and outside of government. Bukele's candidacy has been politically supported by GANA, the Christian Democratic Party (PDC), and Democratic Change which did not run their own presidential candidates.

Protests


On 5 September 2021, the Colectiva Amorales feminist group organized a protest against the Supreme Court's ruling which enabled Bukele to seek consecutive re-election. The group later claimed that its members had been harassed and received death threats from Bukele's supporters.

Since May 2023, two major protest marches have occurred in opposition to Bukele's re-election campaign. The first march, which occurred on 1 May in commemoration of International Workers' Day, was organized by 36-left wing organizations and protested both Bukele's re-election bid and the arrest of innocent people during the ongoing gang crackdown, which had up to that point led to the arrests of over 67,000 suspected gang members. Opposition figures from the FMLN and Nuestro Tiempo participated in the protest. The second protest march was held on 15 September. It protested Bukele's re-election bid, the reductions of municipalities and Legislative Assembly seats, and the "destruction" ("destrucción") of democratic institutions. Opposition figures from ARENA, the FMLN, Vamos, and Nuestro Tiempo participated in the protest.

Opinion polling
According to opinion polling conducted prior to the 2024 election, a large majority of Salvadorans would vote for Bukele and support his re-election. Additionally, an opinion poll conducted by the Francisco Gavidia University in October 2022 found that around 76 percent of respondents believed that Bukele would run for a third presidential term in 2029 should he be successfully re-elected in 2024, however, Bukele has implicitly denied that he would seek a third term, stating that he would "not seek [...] indefinite re-election" ("no busca [...] reelección indefinida") and that he was "only authorized to run for a second term" ("solo estoy autorizado para correr por un segundo período").

International
In September 2021, following the Supreme Court's ruling on re-election, United States Chargé d'Affaires Jean Elizabeth Manes compared the political path the Salvadoran government was taking to that of Venezuela under Hugo Chávez. In November 2023, United States ambassador to El Salvador William H. Duncan stated that the United States would not involve itself in the question regarding the constitutionality of re-election, saying "[re-election] is a topic for Salvadorans [...] there should be a broad debate—among the Salvadorans—regarding the legality and legitimacy of re-election" ("es un tema para los salvadoreños [...] hay que tener un debate amplio–entre los salvadoreños–sobre la legalidad y la legitimidad de la reelección").

In September 2022, after Bukele's re-election announcement, 21 former heads of state and government from Spain and Latin America sent an open letter to the Organization of American States asking the body to condemn Bukele's re-election bid and "promote the normalization of democratic institutions" ("promover la normalización de la institucionalidad democrática") in El Salvador. Bukele responded to the letter by claiming that several of those who sent the letter were "corrupt, kidnappers, and some of them, even murderers" ("corruptos, saqueadores y algunos de ellos, hasta asesinos").

Overview
Plant 42 is owned by the United States Air Force through the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, is operated by the United States Department of Defense, and is garrisoned by the 412th Test Wing Operating Location, Air Force Test Center. It is located 3 mi northeast of Palmdale, California, covers 5832 acre of land, and is at an elevation of 2542 ft above mean sea level. Plant 42 is around 80 mi north of Los Angeles and 23 mi southwest of Edwards Air Force Base. The land owned by Plant 42 is constrained to the north by Columbia Way (formerly named Avenue M), to the south by Avenue P, to the east by 40th Street East, and to the west by the Sierra Highway.

Plant 42 employs around 9,000 people, making it the second-largest employer in the Antelope Valley after Edwards Air Force Base. Plant 42 has 3200000 sqft of industrial space with various facilities which produce aircraft, maintenance and modify aircraft, and build spare parts for aircraft.

In 1969, the United States House Committee on Appropriations stated that the mission of Plant 42 was to "augment the production potential of established aircraft industry by providing Government facilities to assigned contractors for final assembly, flight test and modification, and other approved Government contract work".

Airfield layout
Plant 42 has two runways and one military assault strip; the runways are designated as Runway 07/25 (12002 ft long and 200 ft wide) and Runway 04/22 (12001 ft long and 150 ft wide), and the assault strip is designated as Runway 072/252 (6000 ft long and 75 ft wide). The two runways and the assault strip are all made of concrete. Large aircraft primarily utilize Runway 07/25 while fighter and attack aircraft utilize Runway 04/22. The air force also utilizes both runways to practice touch-and-go landings. The Los Angeles Air Route Traffic Control Center is located adjacent to Plant 42. The Palmdale Flight Service Station was previously located at Plant 42.

In January 2019, Plant 42 proposed replacing the airfield's 106-foot tall air traffic control tower which had been built in 1959, arguing that its view of the airfield's taxiways and parking spots was obstructed and that its replacement would be built in a more optimum location. On July 5, 2019, a 7.1 magnitude earthquake damaged the air traffic control tower. A new 160-foot tall air traffic control tower was completed at Plant 42 on November 30, 2022; it was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Stronghold Engineering, and was constructed with an "advanced buckling-restrained brace frame" to minimize earthquake damage.

In August 2020, the United States Department of Defense awarded J G Contracting a contract to perform construction and maintenance work at Plant 42 through July 2025. In August 2021, the Department of Defense awarded KAL Architects Inc. a contract to perform "architect and engineering services" at Plant 42 through August 2026.

Plant 42 consists of 10 sites.

Site 5 consists of the two runways.

Manufacturing facilities
Three major manufacturers currently operate at Plant 42: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman. Additionally, Convair, Douglas, Hughes, IT&T, Lockheed Air Terminal, Lockheed California, McDonnell Douglas, Norair, and Rockwell International formerly had facilities at Plant 42. Manufacturers at the plant either own their own facilities or lease facilities from the air force through the Government Owned Contractor Operated (GOCO) program. In total, there are eight production facilities.

Some aircraft produced at Plant 42 are flown to Edwards Air Force Base, Area 51, or the Tonopah Test Range either on board a Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III, or are flown under their own power.

Airline services
From the 1960s to 1980s, Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) wanted to utilize the runways at Plant 42 as a part of an auxiliary airport to reduce congestion at the Los Angeles International Airport. Additionally, LAWA purchased 17000 acre of land east of Plant 42 to construct a new airport known as Palmdale International Airport, however, no airport was ever built. Airlines did offer passenger services out of Plant 42; airlines utilized the plant's runways and a leased passenger terminal during the 1990s and 2000s, however, all commercial airlines have since ceased all routes to Plant 42.

Janet, a United States Department of the Air Force-operated passenger airline, operates routes from Plant 42 to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Nevada and to the Homey Airport, more commonly known as Area 51. Janet designates Plant 42 as "Station 1".

Museums
Two museums are located adjacent to Plant 42: the Blackbird Airpark Museum and the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark. The Blackbird Airpark Museum displays 4 Cold War-era reconnaissance aircraft which were developed by the Lockheed Corporation, while the Joe Davies Heritage Airpark displays 22 aircraft from multiple manufacturers which were designed, built, and flown at Plant 42.

Pre-1953 use


The Civil Aeronautics Administration designated the airfield, located in Palmdale, California, as "CAA Intermediate #5".

From 1940 to 1946, United States Army Air Corps (USAAC) leased the Palmdale Airport from Palmdale's irrigation district, during which, the Works Progress Administration built a 9000 ft runway and a 5000 ft auxiliary runway. Renamed as the Palmdale Army Airfield, it was utilized as a sub-base to both the Muroc Army Airfield (the modern-day Edwards Air Force Base) and the Hammer Army Airfield (the modern-day Fresno Yosemite International Airport). The USAAC utilized the Palmdale Army Airfield for North American B-25 Mitchell support training and for emergency landings. In 1946, USAAC transfered ownership of the airfield to the Los Angeles County to resume operations as a municipal airport.

Air force ownership
In 1951, the United States Air Force purchased 5832 acre of land from the Los Angeles County, and in 1953, officially established Plant 42 for the purpose of producing aircraft and testing jet aircraft. The construction of Plant 42 led to Palmdale shifting from an agriculture-based economy to an aerospace manufacturing-based economy.

In October 1993, the air force stated that it would review closing Plant 42 and the other seven air force plants nationwide as a result of a cut in defense spending after the end of the Cold War. Arnie Rodio, the mayor of Lancaster, California, opposed closing Plant 42, stressing its importance to the air force, while Howard Brooks, the executive director of the Antelope Valley Board of Trade, believed that Plant 42 would not be affected by the air force's review. Contrarily, William J. Knight, a member of the California State Assembly and a retired air force colonel, supported closing the plant believing that it could be better utilized by private industry. He argued that if there would no longer be any military contracts at Plant 42, the plant would be useless and "essentially closed".

In 1999, the United States Congress cut US$3.3 million from Plant 42's operating budget and various officials worried that such a budget cut would lead to Plant 42 being shutdown. Buck McKeon, a member of the United States House of Representatives from California's 25th congressional district, stated that the budget cut would be "disastrous".

In January 2021, Plant 42 allowed the Samaritan's Purse humanitarian aid organization to utilize its runways to delivery emergency supplies to the Antelope Valley Hospital to treat patients of COVID-19.

On March 26, 2021, John P. Roth, the United States Secretary of the Air Force, and Mike Garcia, a member of the United States House of Representatives from the then California's 25th congressional district, toured Plant 42. After the tour, Garcia stated that Plant 42 played a "critical role" in the United States' defense, "[helped] advance and improve" the United States military's "presence and strength in air and space", and that it was a "significant job source" for residents of his congressional district.

During late-2020, the air force considered Plant 42 as a potential permanent headquarters for the United States Space Command. Brigadier General Matthew W. Higer, the commander of the 412th Test Wing, supported selecting Plant 42 as the space command's headquarters, stating, "Air Force Plant 42, already a vital part of our Nation's critical defense industrial base, is a natural fit for Headquarters U.S. Space Command".

Commanders
Plant 42 was commanded by Joe Davies from 1963 to 1967.

Major Peter Drinkwater commanded plant 42 during the early 1990s.

Lieutenant Colonel Robert Catlin commanded Plant 42 during the late 1990s.

Colonel Dwayne Robison commanded Plant 42 until July 1, 2020, when he relinquished command to Dr. David Smith.
