Francis approved Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re's, 85, election as Dean of the College of Cardinals and Cardinal Leonardo Sandri, 76, as Vice-Dean.

If the see of Peter becomes vacant in the next five years, the Argentinian Sandri will preside over the conclave, not Re, since Re is no longer an elector.
