Ceaușescu was the only holder of the office under this system; he was elected by the GNA in 1974 and reelected in 1980 and 1985, each time unopposed. The president continued to serve as <i>ex officio</i> president of the <a href="/wiki/State_Council_of_Romania" title="State Council of Romania">State Council</a> and had the right to act on any matter that did not require a State Council <a href="/wiki/Plenum_(meeting)" class="mw-redirect" title="Plenum (meeting)">plenum</a>. He also appointed and dismissed ministers and heads of central agencies. When the GNA was not in session (in practice, for most of the year), the president could appoint and dismiss the president of the Supreme Court and the prosecutor general without the State Council's approval; indeed, he was not even required to consult his State Council colleagues when making such decisions. Ceaușescu created the office to make himself the chief decision-maker in both name and fact. Previously, he had nominally been first among equals on the State Council, deriving his real power from his leadership of the Communist Party. In practice, he used his power to act on all matters that did not require a plenum to rule by decree. Over time, he also usurped many powers that constitutionally belonged to the State Council as a whole.<sup id="cite_ref-cs_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cs-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Oath_of_office">Oath of office</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=President_of_Romania&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Oath of office" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <p>After the <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_Romania" title="Constitutional Court of Romania">Constitutional Court</a> acknowledges the legality of the election, the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Romania" title="Parliament of Romania">Houses of Parliament</a> meet in a joint session.
