Abstract
Investiture vote is common for government formation in parliamentary and semi-presidential systems in ex ante or ex post kinds on three formats of composition of cabinet, government's program or head of government. In Iran, during constitutionalism era, investiture vote was on government’s program in addition to composition of cabinet. In constitution of Islamic Republic of Iran enacted 1979, despite of expression of the text of the constitution regarding collective investiture vote, all governments except the first one, formed based on the individual investiture vote. After amendment of the constitution (1989), the provision of vote on composition of cabinet has been repeated in the text of the constitution but the procedure of individual investiture vote has been continued and in practice, collective investiture vote set aside. It sounds that two elements of constitutional desuetude, ie, “sustained and conscious disuse” and “being inoperative and invalid” by political actors have been occurred about first clause of Article 87 of The Constitution. The question of the research is about the comparasion between investiture vote in Islamic Republic of Iran and other political systems. The research findings is that the subject of Investiture vote in constitutional law of Islamic Republic of Iran is different from other political systems.
