How about Iran’s assembly of experts? Removal of the Supreme leader?

I was just reviewing the Iranian blogsphere. Angry people and particularly young bloggers are trying to find a way to get out of the current deadlock… They mainly have their eyes on Major figures, like Hashemi Rafsanjani, who is the head of Iran’s Assembly of Exports “( Khobregan Majlis) which according to the country’s constitution is in charge of  approval and removal of the supreme leader. However, I do not think he acts that extreme. The history shows that any opposition to  the Supreme Leader by any individuals or political parties is equal to the end of their political life. But it’s very interesting to see the options that have been raised in the blogosphere. According to the article number 111:

“In case the Leader is unable to carry out his legal functions, or loses one of his qualifications mentioned in Article 5 and Article 109, or if it transpires that he did not qualify some of the conditions form the very beginning, he shall be dismissed from his position.” Such decision shall be made by the Khobregan (Assembly of Experts) mentioned in Article 108.

“In the case of death, resignation or dismissal of the Leader, the Khobregan shall be required to determine and declare the new Leader at the earliest. As long as the Leader is not declared, a council composed of the President, Head of the Judiciary and one of the Faqihs (jurisconsults) of the Council of Guardians chosen by the Majma-e- Tashkhis-e-Maslahate-e- Nezam shall collectively discharge the functions of the Leader on a temporary basis. If one of them is not able to discharge his duties for any reason whatsoever during this period, another person shall be appointed by the Majma in his place, maintaining the majority of the Faqihs in the council.

“This council shall proceed with the discharge of the duties set out in paragraphs 1, 3, 5 and 10, and sub-paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of paragraph 6, Article 110 hereof, after approval by three fourths of the members of the Majma-e-Tashkis-e-Maslahat-e- Nezam.

“If the Leader is temporarily unable to discharge the functions of the Leader as a result of sickness or other accidents, the council mentioned in this article shall discharge his functions during such period.”
