Yes . The very Islamist who had his party write the current Egyptian constitution that limited his term to 4 years , limited him to 2 or 3 terms , gave just about all legislative power to the elected Parliament , had literally everyone but Mubarak ' s men among his appointments minority were Muslim Brotherhood , and reversed any decision by his administration to do anything to journalists despite the constant barrage of negative media from Mubarak ' s shills . Compared to the shit that ' s the current administration ? He ' s orders of magnitude better . Remember his part had the power of Parliament and were left alone to draft the constitution after everyone withdrew from the committee assigned to draft it , which had a minority of its members as part of the Muslim Brotherhood . That constitution was approved by about 23 of the vote btw . All of that power and lack of oversight , and this is what they did .
