Abstract. The dismissal of constitutional judge Aswanto by the DPR, which violates the mechanisms stipulated in Law Number 7 of 2020 amending Law Number 24 of 2003 on the Constitutional Court and Article 12 of Constitutional Court Regulation Number 4 of 2012 regarding the procedures for dismissing constitutional judges, clearly disrupts the principles of examination and balance. Ideally, these institutions should not interfere with each other's tasks. This research employs a normative juridical method with a literature study technique, collecting secondary legal materials such as primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. The study aims to 1) analyze whether the process of dismissing a Constitutional Court judge by the DPR will affect the principles of power balance in Indonesia's Constitutional System; 2) analyze the role of DPR in the dismissal of Constitutional Court judges based on the Constitutional System. The dismissal of Judge Aswanto, in violation of regulations, indicates a breach of checks and balances, threatening the justice enforcement process and the institution's independence, thereby undermining democratic integrity. 1) The DPR's dismissal of a Constitutional Court judge without following the proper mechanism shows a lack of understanding of the rules, violating checks and balances and endangering democratic integrity. 2) Post-reform in Indonesia's constitutional system, the DPR and the Constitutional Court play a vital role in implementing checks and balances according to the 1945 Constitution. The dismissal of Judge Aswanto by the DPR poses a potential violation of these principles
