The Iraqi Transitional Government replaced the Iraqi Interim Government on May 3, 2005, after being approved (a partial composition, as some ministerial posts remained unfilled for some days) by the transitional National Assembly on April 28. The transition began with the election of the transitional National Assembly on January 30, 2005. Iraqi leaders hope to establish a complete government, and to draft a national constitution by August 15, 2005. The Iraqi Transitional Government does not have a right to delay the next elections by more than six months.

Notes

* Although the President is the symbolic chief of military and de jure head of state, the position of the President of Iraq is highly ceremonial with very limited powers. The Prime Minister of Iraq runs daily operations and exercises most of the executive powers as the head of government.

** The President and both deputies shall be elected by the Assembly with a two-thirds majority.
