The President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela is both the Head of State and Government of Venezuela, being the most senior position in the public service, representing the first magistracy of the Republic. In his capacity as head of government, he heads the national executive branch of Venezuela and, as head of state, is the commander in chief of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces. Thirty men have held this position to date, and more than fifty, if interim or provisional presidents are considered.
The presidential term of office, according to the current Constitution, is six years with no re-election limits, with the possibility of holding a po[CENSORED]r recall referendum at any time during the last three years of each presidential term.
The first president of Venezuela was Cristóbal Mendoza3, who took office on March 5, 1811 as part of an executive triumvirate elected by the Supreme Congress of Venezuela. On July 5, 1811, with the Declaration of Independence from the Spanish Crown, the position of President of the States of Venezuela was made official.
The executive formula of the triumvirate of the first Republic was dissolved when Congress handed over dictatorial powers to Francisco de Miranda in 181245. Due to the wars of independence with Spain, several attempts are made to establish and confirm independence.
During the brief time that the second Republic6 (1813-1814) was established, Simón Bolívar held the first magistracy by decision of the National Congress. Later, in the establishment of the third Republic (1817-1819), Simón Bolívar was again appointed president of the Republic of Venezuela by decision of the legislative body.
In 1819, with the Congress of Angostura7, the Republic of Colombia was born (known as Gran Colombia and made up of the departments of Venezuela, Nueva Granada and Ecuador). Congress elects Simón Bolívar as president of Colombia and Francisco de Paula Santander as vice president of the fledgling republic.
In 1830, after the La Cosiata 8 movement, Venezuela officially separated from the so-called Gran Colombia, creating the State of Venezuela, whose first president was José Antonio Páez, by designation of the Constituent Congress of Valencia in 1830. From 1830 The figure of the president of Venezuela is maintained, although there have been changes in terms of his election, attributions, terms of office and denominations.
