reported.
According to the Article 88 of the Iranian Constitution, the president must appear before Majlis within a month of being summoned, unless politicians decide to withdraw the motion.
Issues such as the government's delay in introducing the Minister of Sports and Youth as well as refusing to implement the Tehran Metro law will be among the topics Ahmadinejad will be questioned about.
On January 2, Majlis voted for the establishment of the new ministry, bringing to 22 the number of cabinet ministers in President Ahmadinejad's administration.
The ratified proposal was then handed to the government, effectively giving the president three months to appoint a minister to head the newly established ministry -- a deadline the president missed.
The new ministry was to be established by merging Iran's National Youth Organization and the Physical Education Organization.
In a letter to Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani on Monday, Ahmadinejad named Hamid Sajjadi as the country's first minister of sports and youth, but he failed to win Majlis vote of confidence.
According to the Article 89 of the Constitution, if Majlis gives three written warnings that the government has violated the law, the president or his ministers can be impeached.
