The members of the Constitutional Council since 1959
The renewal is on: Lionel Jospin officially enters the Constitutional Council. It must take an oath on Tuesday, rue de Montpensier. The new “wise” is not a small blue of public life. Far from it: former MP, former Minister of Education, former first secretary of the PS, former head of government. It is against the first former prime minister to hold this position. Except Georges Pompidou, passed the Constitutional Council before Matignon and Jacques Chirac who joined after the Elysee.
Jospin, 77, find another “ex”, Valery Giscard d ‘ Estaing. All presidents are ex officio members of the Constitutional Council – for Francois Hollande wanted to remove but that has not revised – but Jacques Chirac and Nicolas Sarkozy are sitting over in March 2011 and January 2013.
Within the institution since 1958 to ensure that the laws passed are fitting with the Constitution, Jospin will also have eight other colleagues (five men and three women). Two are the choice, like him, the President of the National Assembly. Three are appointed by the Head of State, Jean-Louis Debré, promoted in 2007 by Jacques Chirac, who chairs the Council. Three others are finally called by the President of the Senate
Three nominations are thus proposed every three years. – The last in 2013, the next in 2016 – for a term of nine years. Except for Lionel Jospin: it succeeds Jacques Barrot, who died suddenly on December 3, comes to fulfill the remaining term of former Commissioner centrist who sat since 2010. So sign only for five years

Offered to the post by Claude Bartolone, the former Prime Minister had his appointment confirmed by the National Assembly in mid-December. A fitness trail-like procedure since it would have required a three-fifths majority of members of the Laws Committee to oppose it. Jospin, for his great oral, had this said not take any risks, wanting even reassure its objective approach, once rue de Montpensier, despite his past political responsibilities. “It is totally independent that I will perform that function. This is not the vision of a political activist that I will join this body even though I keep my beliefs , he had promised. My inclination would be and my pleasure to be fully and only a constitutional judge. “
