Re: All hail the President Field Marshall General of Egypt!
Partial misunderstanding. Faced with Mubarak-appointed judges keeping Egypt in political gridlock by cancelling parliament and preventing progress on making a new constitution, he gave himself temporary 3-months of essentially dictatorial power to push the constitution through regardless of judicial opposition and bring it to a public referendum. Those powers lapsed by the beginning of 2013, more than 6 months before his overthrow. By the time of his overthrow by the military, he was back to the normal powers he had been elected to.
