Ambiguous first line[edit]

Original first line read "second-highest ranking official... after the President". This led to believe the VP is two ranks after the President and not one. Changed accordingly. 191.180.41.94 (talk) 02:05, 16 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Editors jumping the gun[edit]

While I understand many are anxious to see Dilma out of office, the Wikipedia article should reflect the current situation while it stands. Zelani (talk) 02:32, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Itamar's reason for ascension[edit]

While it is true that Collor resigned from office, he only did it as a last ditch attempt to save his political rights, and, most importantly, his resignation was a direct consequence of the impeachment process he was undergoing.

Collor is considered to have been impeached, resignation notwithstanding. The resignation was rejected by the Senate and he was tried regardless. Therefore, to state Itamar ascended due to resignation misrepresents the facts surrounding the event. Zelani (talk) 04:51, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The period when it was abolished[edit]

The Vice Presidency was never actually abolished during the brief parliamentary period 1961–1963 like it was for the 15 years of the Vargas Era. João Goulart was originally Vice President but became President after Jânio Quadros resigned (Chamber of Deputies President Pascoal Ranieri Mazzilli initally became Acting President due to Goulart being on a visit to China when Quadros resigned and there was also a brief dispute between them), when Goulart became President the Vice Presidency would merely remain vacant until the next scheduled election. The parliamentary system was trialed as a compromise to allow Goulart to be inaugrated as President but have no real power. 90.144.85.225 (talk) 17:42, 2 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
