The President of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын Ерөнхийлөгч, Mongol Ulsyn Yerönkhiilögch) is the executive head of state of Mongolia.^[1]

Election

The President is elected by the citizens of Mongolia. Political parties with representation in the State Great Khural nominate candidates. The President can be re-elected only one time. 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]
