The President also selects the First President of the court from candidates presented by the General Assembly of the Supreme Court. The First President holds office for a six-year term, though he or she may be dismissed by Sejm upon a motion by the President of the Republic of Poland. As of 2010, the First President of the Supreme Court is Stanisław Dąbrowski.[1]
