If the king is incapacitated or for whatever reason and cannot appoint a regent, the privy council will submit to the National Assembly the name of a suitable individual, who must then be approved by a vote. During the period where there is no regent the President of the Privy Council shall be the regent pro tempore.
In the absence of a king or for any other reason that prevents him from appointing a regent, the Privy Council will recommend to the National Assembly a suitable candidate, who must then be elected by a majority vote. Meanwhile, the President of the Privy Council will serve as the interim regent until a permanent one is appointed.
