The president leads the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the Brazilian Armed Forces.The presidential system was established in 1889, upon the proclamation of the republic in a military coup d’état against Emperor Pedro II. Since then, Brazil has had six constitutions, three dictatorships, and three democratic periods. During the democratic periods, voting has always been compulsory. The Constitution of Brazil, along with several constitutional amendments, establishes the requirements, powers, and responsibilities of the president, their term of office and the method of election.Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, art. 15 and Chapter IILuiz Inácio Lula da Silva is the 39th and current president. He was sworn in on 1 January 2023.

Constitutional powers

As a republic with a presidential executive, Brazil grants significant powers to the president, who effectively controls the executive branch, represents the country abroad, and appoints the cabinet and, with the approval of the Senate, the judges for the Supreme Federal Court. The president is also the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.Presidents in Brazil have significant lawmaking powers, exercised either by proposing laws to the National Congress or by using (provisional measures), an instrument with the force of law that the president can enact in cases of urgency and necessity except to make changes to some areas of law (provisional measures cannot be used to change criminal law or electoral law). A provisional measure comes into effect immediately, before Congress votes on it, and remains in force for up to 60 days unless Congress votes to rescind it. The 60-day period can be extended once, up to 120 days. If Congress, on the other hand, votes to approve the provisional measure, it becomes an actual law, with changes decided by the legislative branch. The provisional measure expires at the end of the 60-day period (or the 120-day, in the case of extension), or sooner, if rejected by one of the Houses of Congress.Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, art. 62 as amended by constitutional amendment n. 32Article 84 of the current Federal Constitution, determines that the president has the power to

1. appoint and dismiss the ministers of state;
2. exercise, with the assistance of the ministers of state, the higher management of the federal administration;
3. initiate the legislative procedure, in the manner and in the cases set forth in the Constitution;
4. sanction, promulgate, and order the publication of laws, as well as issue decrees and regulations for the true enforcement thereof;
5. veto bills, wholly or in part;
6. provide, by means of decree, on organization and structure of federal administration if there is neither increase of expenses nor creation or extinction of public agencies; and extinction of offices or positions, when vacant;
7. maintain relations with foreign States and to accredit their diplomatic representatives;
8. conclude international treaties, conventions and acts, subject to the ratification of the National Congress of Brazil;
9. decree the state of defense and the state of siege, in accordance with the constitutional procedures that precede and authorize those emergency decrees;
10. decree and enforce federal intervention, in accordance with the constitutional procedures that precede and authorize such exceptional action;
11. upon the opening of the legislative session, send a government message and plan to the National Congress, describing the state of the nation and requesting the actions he deems necessary;
12. grant pardons and reduce sentences, after hearing the entities instituted by law, if necessary;
13. exercise the supreme command of the armed forces, appoint the commanders of navy, army and air force, promote general officers and to appoint them to the offices held exclusively by them;
14. appoint, after approval by the Federal Senate, the Justices of the Supreme Federal Court and those of the superior courts, the Governors of the territories, the Prosecutor General of the Republic, the president and the directors of the Central Bank and other civil servants, when established by law;
15. appoint, with due regard for the provisions of Article 73, the Justices of the Court of Accounts of the Union;
16. appoint judges in the events established by this constitution and the Attorney General of the Union;
17. appoint members of the Council of the Republic, in accordance with article 89, VII;
18. summon and preside over the Council of the Republic and the National Defense Council;
19. declare war, in the event of foreign aggression, authorized by the National Congress or confirmed by it, whenever it occurs between legislative sessions and, under the same conditions, to decree full or partial national mobilization;
20. make peace, authorized or confirmed by the National Congress;
21. award decorations and honorary distinctions;

Election

Requirements

The Constitution of Brazil requires that a president be a native-born citizen of Brazil, at least 35 years of age, a resident of Brazil, in full exercise of their electoral rights, a registered voter, and a member of a political party (write-in or independent candidates are prohibited).BOOK, Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, article 14, paragraph 3,

Term limits

The president of Brazil serves for a term of four years,BOOK, Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, article 82, and may be re-elected for a single consecutive term.BOOK, Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, article 14, paragraph 5, This two-term limit, however, is not for life—a former president who has served for two consecutive terms may run for the presidency again after at least one term has elapsed.NEWS, G1 > Política - NOTÍCIAS - Terceiro mandato é ‘legal e constitucional’, diz Dirceu,g1.globo.com/Noticias/Politica/0,,MUL201198-5601,00-TERCEIRO+MANDATO+E+LEGAL+E+CONSTITUCIONAL+DIZ+DIRCEU.html, 3 April 2020, g1.globo.com, A vice president or other officer who succeeds to the presidency or who serves, albeit briefly, as acting president during a certain presidential term may subsequently be elected or reelected to the presidency only once, as the consecutive term limit already applies. In practice, Brazilian vice-presidents almost always serve as acting president at some point during a presidential term, given that, according to the Constitution, the vice-president becomes acting president during the president’s travels abroad.{{citation needed|date=January 2020}}

Running for other offices

A sitting president (or governor or mayor) who wishes to run for a different office, regardless of the intended jurisdiction or branch of government, must resign from office at least six months before election day.BOOK, Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, article 14, paragraph 6,

History

The possibility of reelection was established by the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, in 1997. Before that, presidents had been barred from immediate reelection for all of Brazil’s republican history, with the single exception of the latter half of the Vargas Era, from 1937 to 1945. The office was limited to men until the 1937 Constitution. Under the original text of the 1988 Constitution the presidential term lasted 5 years, but it was reduced to 4 years in 1994 by a constitutional amendment.

Removal

(File:2019 Encontro com o Primeiro-Ministro da República da Índia - 49061080031.jpg|thumb|right|165px|The flag of Brazil)The president may be removed from officeConstitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil 1988 - SECTION III - LIABILITY OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC (English translation) using one of two procedures. In either case, two-thirds of the Chamber of Deputies must accept charges against the officeholder (impeachment); and if the Senate accepts the investigation, the president is suspended from exercising the functions of office for up to 180 days. In the case of “common criminal offenses”, a trial then takes place at the Supreme Federal Court. In the case of “crimes of malversation”, which must fall into one of seven broad areas and which is defined in more detail in law, a trial takes place at the Federal Senate. During the trial, the vice president exercises executive power. If the trial does not result in a conviction within 180 days, the president resumes office; a conviction results in removal from office and succession by the vice president. The seven areas are:

1. The existence of the Union
2. The free exercise of the Legislative Power, the Judicial Power, the Public Prosecution and the constitutional Powers of the units of the Federation
3. The exercise of political, individual and social rights
4. The internal security of the country
5. Probity in the administration
6. The budgetary law
7. Compliance with the laws and with court decisions

Post-presidency

The following privileges are guaranteed to former presidents by law:

• Permanent security protection (by the presidential guard – Batalhão da Guarda Presidencial)
• The use of two official vehicles (for life)
• Repository funding for a presidential library
• Lifelong monthly pension for their widows and unmarried daughters
• Pension for sons of deceased ex-presidents until they come of age

Office-holders

All presidents of Brazil have borne the title President of the Republic. That title has been used by all the constitutions of Brazil since the proclamation of the Republic to refer to the head of the Executive Branch. However, from the proclamation of the Republic in 1889 until 1937 the country was officially styled Republic of the United States of Brazil, and from 1937 to 1967 the country was styled simply The United States of Brazil, and thus the full title of the presidents of the Republic from 1891 until 1967—that is, from Deodoro da Fonseca’s inauguration as President (between 1889 and 1891 he served as Head of the Provisional Government) until the end of Humberto Castello Branco’s term in 1967—was President of the Republic of the United States of Brazil. On 15 March 1967, the country’s official name was changed to Federative Republic of Brazil. On that same date, Arthur da Costa e Silva was sworn in as President succeeding Castello Branco. Since Costa e Silva, therefore, all presidents of Brazil have borne the full title of President of the Federative Republic of Brazil.File:Deodoro da Fonseca (1889).jpg|{{center|1stDeodoro da Fonseca1889–1891}}File:Floriano Peixoto (1891).jpg|{{center|2ndFloriano Peixoto1891–1894}}File:Prudentedemorais.jpg|{{center|3rdPrudente de Morais1894–1898}}File:Campos Sales.jpg|{{center|4thCampos Sales1898–1902}}File:Rodrigues Alves 3.jpg|{{center|5thRodrigues Alves1902–1906}}File:Afonso Pena.jpg|{{center|6thAfonso Pena1906–1909}}File:Nilo Peçanha 02.jpg|{{center|7thNilo Peçanha1909–1910}}File:Hermes da Fonseca (1910).jpg|{{center|8thHermes da Fonseca1910–1914}}File:Venceslau Brás.jpg|{{center|9thVenceslau Brás1914–1918}}File:Delfim Moreira (1918).jpg|{{center|10thDelfim Moreira1918–1919}}File:Epitacio Pessoa (1919).jpg|{{center|11thEpitácio Pessoa1919–1922}}File:Artur Bernardes (1922).jpg|{{center|12thArthur Bernardes1922–1926}}File:Washington Luís (foto).jpg|{{center|13thWashington Luís1926–1930}}File:Júlio Prestes, 1930 - Schmitd, maria do resguardo (retouched).jpg|{{center|–Júlio PrestesNever took office}}File:Isaías de Noronha 2, sem data.tif|{{center|–Isaías de Noronha1930}}File:Augusto Tasso Fragoso.jpg|{{center|–Tasso Fragoso1930}}File:João de Deus Menna Barreto, General, 1931.tif|{{center|–Mena Barreto1930}}File:Getulio Vargas (1930).jpg|{{center|14thGetúlio Vargas1930–1945}}File:José Linhares, presidente dos Estados Unidos do Brasil.tif|{{center|15thJosé Linhares1945–1946}}File:GASPARDUTRA.jpg|{{center|16thEurico Gaspar Dutra1946–1951}}File:17 - Getúlio Dorneles Vargas 1951 derivative.jpg|{{center|17thGetúlio Vargas1951–1954}}File:Café Filho.jpg|{{center|18thCafé Filho1954–1955}}File:CarlosLuz.jpg|{{center|19thCarlos Luz1955}}File:Nereu.gif|{{center|20thNereu Ramos1955–1956}}File:Juscelino.jpg|{{center|21stJuscelino Kubitschek1956–1961}}File:Jânio Quadros portrait (cropped).jpg|{{center|22ndJânio Quadros1961}}File:Ranieri Mazzilli (1961).jpg|{{center|23rdRanieri Mazzilli1961}}File:Jango.jpg|{{center|24thJoão Goulart1961–1964}}File:Ranieri Mazzilli (1961).jpg|{{center|25thRanieri Mazzilli1964}}File:Castelobranco.jpg|{{center|26thCastelo Branco1964–1967}}File:Costa e Silva.jpg|{{center|27thArtur da Costa e Silva1967–1969}}File:Pedro Aleixo.jpg|{{center|–Pedro AleixoNever took office}}File:Brigadeiro Márcio de Souza Mello, Ministro da Aeronáutica.tif|{{center|–Márcio Melo1969}}File:Aurélio de Lira Tavares, General, Ministro do Exército..tif|{{center|–Aurélio de Lira Tavares1969}}File:Augusto Hamann Rademaker Grünewald, Vice-presidente da República..tif|{{center|–Augusto Rademaker1969}}File:Emílio Garrastazu Médici, presidente da República.
