The Constitutional Court is the guardian of the constitution. The court's competences are properly defined within the Constitution itself. Organizationally and functionally it does not descend from the legislative organ, nor it is accountable to. The Constitutional Court consists of nine judges. A President is elected from its own ranks for a term of three years without the right to reelection. The Assembly of the Republic of Macedonia elects the judges of the Constitutional Court from the rank of outstanding members of the legal profession for a term of nine years without the right to reelection.
