"He [Hossein Khomeini] also added that the current constitution and government could not be changed until a post for a spiritual leader as the country’s Supreme Leader existed, adding that spiritual leadership was for the prophet and the 12 Imams – 11 of which are dead and one is believed to be in hiding for more than a millennium."
I understand the part about the Imams, but I don't get what he's saying here.
In the previous sentence he implies there's no legal basis for this government, yet he says that the government's constitution cannot be changed? Or am I not understanding this right?
