Article 130

The Constitutional Court is composed of twelve members appointed for a non-renewable term of nine years. Six members are designated by the King, including one member proposed by the Secretary General of the Higher Council of Ulema, and six members are elected, half by the House of Representatives and half by the House of Councillors from among the candidates presented by the Bureau of each House, following a secret ballot and by a majority of two thirds of the members composing each House. If the two Houses of Parliament or one of them do not elect the aforementioned members within the legal period required for renewal, the Court shall exercise its attributions and render its decisions on the basis of a quorum that does not take into account the members not yet elected. Each category of members is renewable by thirds every three years. The President of the Constitutional Court is appointed by the King from among the members composing the Court. The members of the Constitutional Court are chosen from among personalities having high-level training in the legal field and judicial, doctrinal or administrative competence, having exercised their profession for more than fifteen years, and recognized for their impartiality and probity.
