The article analyzes the extent to which the Jordanian Constitutional Court supervises the constitutionality of temporary laws as issued by the executive authority. Therefore, through this study, the role of the Constitutional Court will be highlighted in supervising the constitutionality of temporary laws and clarifying constitutional developments with regard to the constitutional amendments of 2011 pertaining the establishment of a constitutional court whose mission is to monitor the constitutionality of laws and regulations in force, including temporary laws, and to highlight the amendments that occurred to the Jordanian Constitution and the Constitutional Court law for 2022. For this reason, the study adopted the analytical and descriptive approach by analyzing the texts of the Jordanian Constitution and the Constitutional Court law, and describing the position of the Jordanian constitutional legislator by listing the various rules related to the oversight of the Jordanian Constitutional Court on the constitutionality of temporary laws. The study concluded with a number of findings and recommendations. The most important of which is that the Constitutional Court's oversight of the constitutionality of temporary laws leads to the protection of the rights and freedoms of citizens, and that the Jordanian Constitution entrusted the Parliament (as a legislative authority) with setting up permanent laws submitted under draft laws from the government, as well as considering temporary and valid laws, whether by approving, amending or rejecting them.
