Legal Requirements for Delegating The Powers of The President to Deputies in the Constitutional System of Iran Focusing on The Guardian Council’s Decisions

According to Article 124 of the Constitution, the president can delegate some of his legal duties. Deputies of the president are divided into two categories according to the nature of their duties and powers: Deputies who are solely responsible for the affairs of the deputies, whose authority is delegated by nature, and deputies who are also in charge of the apparatus or organizations under the supervision of the President, whose nature of duties is inherent. The main question of this research is: ”Which duties of the vice-presidents can be performed by the deputies and what are the legal requirements governing this issue?” This is the main challenge that the present article seeks to resolve with a descriptive-analytical approach and by focusing on the opinions of the Guardian Council. The findings indicate that the President can delegate his duties in addition to the main and vertical duties of a person by observing the conditions of delegation. The president has the exclusive authority to determine the duties and powers of the vice-presidents. Political responsibility does not include vice presidents, but parliament can oversee vice-presidents in other ways, while vice-presidents have administrative and judicial responsibilities.
