Although it was a Constitutional requirement to take an oath before entering the office (Art. 40 of the Constitution of 1963), Bin Billah began to exercise the functions of office immediately upon the proclamation of election results by electoral committee (17 Sep 1963) and was sworn in 20 Sep 1963. |

From 10 Jul 1965, the powers of the Council of Revolution were delegated to the government whose president (Huwārī Bū Madyan) promulgated legislative acts as Raʾīs al-Ḥukūmah, Raʾīs Majlis al-Wuzarāʾ (President of the Government, President of the Council of Ministers). |

After the resignation of al-Shādhilī Bin Jadīd (submitted 11 Jan 1992), the Constitutional Council (al-Majlis al-Dustūrī, المجلس الدستوري) passed a declaration confirming the existence of conditions not covered in the Constitution and empowering the institutions mentioned in Art. 24, 75, 79, 129, 130 and 153 of the Constitution "to ensure the continuity of the state" (People's National Army, Head of Government, judiciary, and Constitutional Council). |
| [7] |
The vacancy in the office was confirmed by a decision of the Constitutional Council of 3 Apr 2019. In accordance with the Constitution, the functions of President of the Republic devolved on ʿAbd al-Qādir Bin Ṣāliḥ as President of the Council of Nation (Raʾīs al-Majlis al-Ummah, رئيس المجلس الأمة). However, the Council of Nation and People's Assembly chose to vote the acceptance of the report of the Constitutional Council at the joint session on 9 Apr 2019 and approved ʿAbd al-Qādir Bin Ṣāliḥ as provisional head of state. |
