The election of the federal president consists of several activities. In electing the president and two vice-presidents of the Federation, at least one-third of the delegates of the respective Bosniak, Croat or Serb caucuses in the House of Peoples may nominate the president, and two vice-presidents of the Federation. After that, the House of Representatives needs to approve the president and vice-presidents, and after that House of Peoples decides to confirm the decision of the House of Representatives by the majority of votes of all three caucuses.[2]
The president can be dismissed from office after Federal Constitutional Court approves the request from the Parliament of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Before the request was sent, two-thirds of Parliament need to vote for it.[2]
