The crown prince in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is chosen, according to Succession Commission Law, within a period not exceeding thirty days from the date of the pledge of allegiance to the king. During his tenure, he receives anyone with a complaint or grievance from citizens. The king has the right to delegate some powers to the crown prince by Royal Order. When the king travels outside the Kingdom, a Royal Order is issued appointing the crown prince to run the state's affairs and safeguard the people's interests. Upon the king’s death, the Succession Commission calls for the pledge of allegiance to the crown prince as king of the country. If the king is incapable of exercising his powers for temporary health reasons, the commission prepares a report to prove this. Henceforth, the king’s powers are directly exercised by the crown prince temporarily until the recovery of the king. If a medical report confirms that the inability of the king to exercise his powers is permanent, the Succession Commission prepares minutes to this effect. Henceforth, the commission calls for the pledge of allegiance to the crown prince as king of the country, provided that these procedures are carried out in accordance with this law and the Basic Law of Governance within a period not exceeding twenty-four hours.
