#3 take the steps necessary to obtain that constitutional amendment and reelection of the president

Interesting language. I wonder if he means no voting on the amendment this time. Last time he lost when it was submitted for a popular vote.

#4 No it means the amendment must come from a source other that the Preisdent. The Ve constitutiion can only be "reformed" on a single topic once per presidential term. Hugo already tried once, so legally he can't introduce the reform.... thus the verbage.
