The President of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын Ерөнхийлөгч, Mongol Ulsyn Yerönkhiilögch) is the executive head of state of Mongolia.[1]
Election
The President is elected by the citizens of Mongolia. Political parties with representation in the State Great Khural nominate candidates. The President can be re-elected only one time. The President can be removed from office if two-thirds of the Khural find him guilty of abusing his powers or violating his oath.[2] Before inauguration, however, the President-elect has to renounce the membership of any political party.
Powers of the President
- Nominating a candidate for the office of Prime Minister, who is then approved or rejected by the State Great Khural (parliament). This is largely a ceremonial responsibility, as the Khural will most likely reject any nominee who is not its own choice – in effect, the Prime Minister is appointed by the Khural.[2]
- Vetoing the Khural's legislation (can be overridden with a two-thirds majority)[2]
- Approving judicial appointments[2]
- Appointing the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of Mongolia[3]
- Chairing the national security council[2]
- Acting as commander in chief of the armed forces.[2]
- Nominates the Prosecutor General, the official in charge of implementing the laws, who is then approved or rejected by the Khural.[4]
