The President of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation (Russian: Председатель Конституционного Суда Российской Федерации), is the presiding judge of the Constitutional Court of Russia.
However, in 2009, such elections were canceled and the President became appoint by the Federation Council.
The maximum number of terms during which the President can hold office is not set.
The President of the Constitutional Court is not subject to the restriction that a person who has reached the age of 70 cannot be a judge.
During Boris Yeltsin's first inauguration in 1991, for example, the oath was administered by Ruslan Khasbulatov, the Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of Russia, as the Constitutional Court did not yet exist at that time.
