Constitution of Jordan
Jordan is a constitutional monarchy whose constitution was adopted on January 8, 1952. The executive branch is in the hands of the King of Jordan and his cabinet. The king signs and approves all laws. Two-thirds of both houses of the Jordanian National Assembly can overturn the king's veto. 

The king can appoint and remove all judges by issuing a decree, approving a constitutional amendment, declaring war, and ordering the armed forces. Cabinet decisions, court rulings, and the national currency are issued in his name. The cabinet is chaired by the prime minister, who can also dismiss any member of the cabinet at the request of the prime minister. The cabinet must be accountable to the Jordanian House of Representatives on matters of general policy, and this authority can force the cabinet to resign by a "no confidence" vote of two-thirds of its members.

The constitution provides for three categories of courts: civil, religious, and special. Jordan is administratively divided into twelve governorate constituencies, each governed by a governor appointed by the king. They have exclusive power in all government departments and development plans in the areas under their control. The Royal Armed Forces and the Jordanian General Directorate of Intelligence are under the control of the King.
