There have been several
chief justices since the creation of the position in 2008.
Appointment The president sends the name of the nominee or nominee's to the
People's Majlis. It is debated if the nominee is fit and qualified to be the chief justice. The voting will take place after the debate and if approved it would be sent back to the president to appoint the new chief justice.
Removal The removal of the chief justice is taken by People's Majlis. The president is not allowed any direct input in the decision, and cannot take any action against it. To be officially removed from office he must get a majority of the People's Majlis to vote in favor of the removal. ==List of chief justices==
