Abstract

The study aims to describe the different regulations of the term of office extension of the members of the constitutional bodies in Spain; it analyses its problematic basis on the Constitution and its contradiction with the principle of the provisionality of power and of the independence of these bodies, whilst presenting the drawbacks derived from the application of the prorogation system for the operating of the bodies themselves. The study concludes by proposing, for experimental purposes, the abolition of said institution.
