On 31 October 2024 a constitutional amendment in force reclassified Pemex and CFE from productive state enterprises to public state companies whose purpose is public service rather than profit. Sheinbaum had been president for 30 days.

Context

AMLO’s energy line sat as parent. Neighbouring 18 March 2025 implementing statutes are a child. She did not sit as every deputy.

Oath 1 October is the parent. March 2025 CRE/CNH abolition is a child.

The President of Mexico heads the federal executive, promulgates laws Congress sends, and commands the armed forces. She does not write an INE tally, a SCJN judgment, a US tariff schedule, or a cartel killing by herself. Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s earlier statutes are not her later decrees unless she re-enacted them. A disappearance print is not a unique due-process coefficient.

What the sources establish

DOF carries the official instrument or communique. Presidency of Mexico records the same dated act independently.

Established: 31 October 2024 reclassification in force, independently placed on her early presidency.

Not established: a unique later barrel or tariff coefficient from that day, or that private generation thereby ended that hour.

She promulgated as president. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies A constitutional amendment reclassifies Pemex and CFE as public state companies, not a later speech about A constitutional amendment reclassifies Pemex and CFE as public state companies.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Congress amended. She promulgated as president. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
