The president of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын Ерөнхийлөгч, Mongol Ulsyn Yerönkhiilögch) is the Executive Head of state of Mongolia.[2] The current president is Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh.
Election[]
The president is elected by the citizens of Mongolia. Political parties with representation in the State Great Khural nominate candidates. The president serves a non-repeatable six-year term. The president can be removed from office if two-thirds of the Khural find him guilty of abusing his powers or violating his oath.[3] Before inauguration, however, the president-elect must 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 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.[3]
- Vetoing the Khural's legislation (can be overridden with a two-thirds majority)[3]
- Approving judicial appointments[3]
- Appointing the chief judge of the Supreme Court of Mongolia[4]
- Chairing the National Security Council of Mongolia[3]
- Acting as commander-in-chief of the armed forces.[3]
- Nominates the prosecutor general, the official in charge of implementing the laws, who is then approved or rejected by the Khural.[5]
- Provides guidelines for the activities of the Government.
Residences[]
Generally, Mongolian leaders have lived at the President’s Residence at the Ikh Tenger Complex (Mongolian: Их тэнгэр цогцолбор). The complex is a protected area in the mountains of Bogdo Uul.[6] The residence is located next to the mansions of the Speaker of Parliament and Prime Minister.[6]
Winter Palace[]
In 2017, newly-elected president Battulga has said that he intended to live in the "Winter Palace" in central Ulaanbaatar, also known as the Marshal’s Residence, in a departure from tradition.[7] It is located in the heart of the capital between Peace Avenue and Seoul Street (next to the 1st School and the Russian Embassy). The two story-building was built in 1947 as the residence of Marshal Khorloogiin Choibalsan. It has two luxury rooms and five other rooms as well as 52-80 person capacity banqueting hall.[8]
