11120

Article 11120: The leader will be dismissed from his position in case he is incapable of performing his legal responsibilities, becomes deficient in one of the qualifications mentioned in Article 5 and 109; or it becomes evident that from the offset he has been lacking in some of the qualifications. This issue shall be determined by the Council of Experts, as mentioned in Article 108. In the aforementioned case, or in case of the death, resignation, or dismissal of the leader, the Experts are responsible for designating a new leader as soon as possible. Until the leader is introduced, a council consisting of the President of the Republic, the head of the judiciary power, and one of the jurisprudents of the Guardian Council, selected by the Expediency Council, will temporarily assume all the responsibilities of the leadership. If during this time any of them, for any reason, cannot fulfill his duties, another individual will be assigned in his place according to the vote of the assembly and with respect to maintaining the majority of the jurisprudents in the council. 20
