When everyone was saddened by the martyrdom of the president, your orders and guidelines and your steadfastness and the epic presence of the people once again showed the glory of religious democracy and the steadfastness of the system.
But regarding the nature and definition of the enforcement order, in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the president is the head of the country, the leader and the head of the executive branch, and without the enforcement of the leadership, the president is not allowed to take office.
The ninth paragraph of the one hundred and tenth article of the Iranian constitution, which is related to the duties and powers of the leadership, speaks of the signing of the presidential decree after the election of the people by the leader, which actually refers to the concept of formalizing and enforcing the "presidential decree" with the word "enforcement".
In the religious democratic system of the Islamic Republic of Iran, two bases for the legitimacy of the political system are foreseen, one is the popular base and the other is the divine base; that the popular base is provided through the people's election and their vote for the president; But its divine foundation is established through the leadership's enforcement of the people's choice; That is, the basis of divine legitimacy here is enforcement, and with enforcement, a president has divine-popular legitimacy.
When the President of Iran is executed, we reach Article 122 of the Constitution of this country, which states that "the President is responsible to the nation, the leader and the Islamic Council within the limits of the powers and duties assigned to him by the Constitution or ordinary laws"; That is, enforcement gives him legitimacy on the one hand and responsibility on the other hand, and he must be accountable. After being implemented, the president of Iran becomes accountable to the leadership and must fulfill the expectations that the leadership has from the president within the framework of the constitution.
