The President’s and the Parliament’s actions are all subject to the veto of the Guardian Council and the Supreme Leader—self perpetuating Islamic clerics. This is the statement that explained their action of disqualifying over 1000 candidates for Parliament and the Presidency leaving only 6 who were acceptable. Then the people have a right to vote from among the 6 and can be assured that their President will not have an original thought or have any views different from the Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei.
