Whenever the new composition of the CSS is officiated, the president signs a decree to appoint them as council members. Other non-permanent members such as parliamentary faction leaders and intellectuals are also invited to attend. [6] The composition was most recently changed in June 2019 by President Igor Dodon following the constitutional crisis that occurred. [7]

In wartime, the CSS is renamed to the Supreme Council on Defense, to which the president chairs the council in their position as Supreme Commander-in-Chief. [8]
