The Constitutional Court is the sole authority of constitutional jurisdiction in Romania, and it shall be independent of any other public authority. To fulfil its functions as the “guarantor for the supremacy of the Constitution”, the Court discharges the powers prescribed by Article 146 of the Basic Law. The Constitutional Court of Romania is composed of nine judges, appointed for a 9-year term of office, which cannot be extended or renewed. Three judges are appointed by the Chamber of Deputies, three by the Senate and three by the President of Romania.
