Over the law makers say in violation of constitution the Iran parliament has voted to refer president mahmoud Ahamadinejad to the judiciary. Its unclear whether there will be a lawsuit against Ahmadinejad, Wednesday’s vote in parliament shows the majority of Iranian lawmakers are siding with the Guardian Council – the country’s constitutional watchdog body – in an ongoing controversy with the president. The legislators voted 165-1 in favor of legal action against Ahmadinejad over his move last month to declare himself caretaker oil minister after he sacked Masoud Mirkazemi under a Cabinet reshuffle plan.A parliament report says Ahmadinejad’s action was in “obvious violation of the constitution.” Remaining lawmakers in the 290-member assembly were either absent or abstained.
