Vice President of Venezuela
The vice president of Venezuela, officially known as the Executive Vice President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, is the second highest political position in the government of Venezuela. The vice president is the direct collaborator of the Venezuelan president according to the Constitution. The office of vice president appeared in the Constitution of 1830 until the Constitution of 1858, and once again in the Constitution of 1999. However, in its current (1999) incarnation, the office is more akin to a prime minister in systems as those of France and South Korea.
