| | Supreme leader of Iran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Although the members of the Assembly of Experts are elected by public vote, the Guardian Council (which is appointed by the Supreme Leader) vets the candidates before the election. | | | The Supreme Leader is elected by the Assembly of Experts (Majlis-e Khebregan-e Rahbari) and serves for life, although he can theoretically be deposed by the same assembly. | | | Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, 1979–1989; he was the father of the Islamic Revolution, and retained a uniquely prominent position as Guide of the Revolution until his death; article 107 of the constitution simply acknowledged him in the position for life, imposing election only after his death. |

| | The assembly has approved rules of procedure for steering its sessions, conditions for elections of members to Assembly of Experts as well as parts of the law of enforcement of Article 107 of the constitution (on the election of a leader or a Leadership Council). | | | The balloting for the Second Assembly of Experts, as required by the constitution, was held in December 1982 for the election of 83 members, of whom 76 were elected in the first round and the rest in the second round. | | | Later on, the Assembly of Experts announced that it had not elected Ayatollah Montazeri, but had only confirmed his tacit election by the people, as stipulated by Article 107 of the constitution. |

| | According to the Constitution the Assembly of Experts is an elected organ, whose delegates serve for eight years. | | | In short the law allows the elected members of the Assembly of Experts in each particular session to remove the “leadership” because of his inability to fulfil his lawful duties, or for losing the necessary conditions for taking up the post of leadership in the fist place. | | | According to the Constitution the election regulations, the requirements for candidates, the supervising organs, which in the election for the first Assembly were in the hands of the Council of Guardians, was then turned over to the Assembly of Experts itself. |
