The king of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Template:Langx) is the monarchical head of state of Jordan. He serves as the head of the Jordanian monarchy—the Hashemite dynasty. The king is addressed as His Majesty (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
Jordan is a constitutional monarchy. However, the king is vested with somewhat more executive and legislative power than is typically the case for constitutional monarchs. He is commander-in-chief of the Jordanian Armed Forces, appoints the prime minister and the directors of security agencies. He also appoints the members of the upper house of Parliament, the Senate, as well as the members of the Constitutional Court.[1]
The current king, Abdullah II, took the throne on 7 February 1999 following the death of his father, Hussein.
History
Script error: No such module "labelled list hatnote".
The sons of Hussein bin Ali, the Grand Emir and Sharif of Mecca were set up as the kings of Iraq (Faisal I) and Jordan (Abdullah I) in the aftermath of the Arab Revolt and World War I.
The Jordanian monarchy was set up in 1921, with Abdullah I becoming emir of the Emirate of Transjordan, a post he held from 11 April 1921 until Transjordan gained independence on 25 May 1946 as the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan. Once independence was gained, Abdullah was crowned the country's first monarch. The country's name was shortened to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan on 26 April 1949, after the kingdom won control of both sides of the Jordan River as a result of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
