The Iranian Parliament is to discuss today a report on forth appeal of the parliamentary Article 90 Commission's representatives against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mehr News Agency reported on Wednesday.

So far, members of the Parliament have made four appeals, complaining of Ahmadinejad's abuse of power. The first appeal was based on the tardy introduction of a nominee for the sports and youth minister. The second appeal complains of the misuse of different state bodies. The third appeal was made due to delay in following Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's direction to reinstate Heydar Moslehi as the intelligence minister.

The forth appeal complains of Ahmadinejad's decision to reduce in number of ministries and to merge some of them without the Guardian Council's approval.

Article 90 of the Iranian Constitution and the Parliament's Charter specify that if a quarter of MPs make an appeal complaining of the executive power's work, the president must attend a parliamentary session and adequately answer all questions during a month.

Refraining from the implementation of the Iranian Constitution is the matter subsequently referred to the Article 90 Commission, which is tasked with the execution Article 90 of the Iranian Constitution.
