Election


The President is elected by the citizens of Mongolia. Political parties with representation in the State Great Khural nominate candidates. The President serves a term of four years and can be re-elected only once. 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 suspend their 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]

  • Provides guidelines for the activities of the Government.
