The head of state continued to be the king, but he was represented locally by the Royal Governor.Features of the officeRequirementsThe Constitution of 1980, with its 2005 amendment, outlines the qualifications for becoming president. To be eligible, the individual must be a natural-born Chilean citizen or born abroad to Chilean parents or grandparents. They must also be at least 35 years oldWEB,weblink Chile en el Exterior » Nationality, 17 July 2016, dead,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20160724164241weblink">weblink 24 July 2016, and meet all the requirements for becoming a Senator.In addition, the president must have the right to vote as a fully Chilean citizen, which includes being at least 18 years of age, not having been sentenced to a severe punishment, not having lost the right to vote due to insanity, not having been tried or condemned for a serious crime or terrorist conduct, nor condemned by the Constitutional Court under Article 8 of the Chilean Constitution.File:Juan Antonio Rios votando.JPG|left|180px|thumb|Juan Antonio RÃos voting in the 1942 election, where he was elected as President.]]ElectionArticle 26 detail the electoral requirements. The president shall be elected by direct ballot, with an absolute majority of the votes validly cast. A two-round system is used. In order to win the election in the first round, the winning candidate's party must receive more than 50 percent of the valid votes leaving out of the count blank and spoiled votes.The election shall be held the third Sunday of November of the year immediately before the end of the administration of the president then holding office. Should there be more than two candidates in the presidential election, none of them obtaining more than half of the votes validly cast, a new election shall be held. The second election ("balloting"), in the manner determined by law, shall be held the fourth Sunday after the first election, limited to the two candidates with the highest relative majorities. Then, the candidate with the majority of valid votes in that round is elected president.Term durationFile:Michelle_Bachelet_asume_como_Presidenta,_11_de_marzo_de_2014.jpg|thumb|Both Michelle Bachelet (center) and Sebastián PiñeraSebastián PiñeraUnder the 1828 constitution, the president served for four years, without the possibility of immediate reelection for one more term. In 1833, the presidential period was changed to five years, with a possibility of immediate reelection for one more term, limited to two consecutive terms. Then by a constitutional reform in 1878, possibility for reelection became disallowed. Under the 1925 constitution, the president served for a six-year term, without the possibility of immediate reelection.SuccessionIf the President is unable to perform his or her duties, the President's powers are usually temporarily transferred to the Minister of the Interior under the title of "Vice President". However, this is not a substantive position. Rather, the holder of the position fulfills the duties of the President only for as long as the President is incapacitated or a vacancy occurs. If the President and the Minister of the Interior are both temporarily unavailable, the next minister of the government, in the order of succession, becomes the "Vice President". The consent of the Senate is required for the Vice President to exercise the duties of the President.Line of successionA partial constitutional amendment in 2011 established the order of presidential succession in the order of Minister of the Interior, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Minister of National Defense.

Presidential symbolsPresidential sashFile:Aylwin Banda.jpg|160px|thumb|President Patricio Aylwin (in office 1990â1994) wearing the presidential sashpresidential sashThe presidential sash, used initially by Bernardo O'Higgins, became a symbol of the authority of the first president with the assumption of office by President José JoaquÃn Prieto in 1831. It is composed of three stripes with the colors of the Chilean flag, it is sewn by hand and measured approximately {{convert|75|cm|in|abbr=on}} long and {{convert|13|cm|in|abbr=on}} wide.From the nineteenth century a single sash was maintained that was transferred from president to president until 1915, due to the height differences between the outgoing Ramón Barros Luco and the elected Juan Luis Sanfuentes, so a new sash had to be designed. Since that date, each president has had his or her own presidential sash, which is used only in official ceremonies.O'Higgins PiocheFile:Piocha de O'Higgins, Boric posesión.jpg|160px|thumb|The O'Higgins PiocheO'Higgins PiocheThe O'Higgins Pioche, which is considered the symbol of presidential power and is placed at the lower end of the presidential sash, is a star of five ends of about {{convert|7|cm|in|abbr=on}} in diameter, enameled in red. It dates back to the medals of the Legion of Merit and remained intact until the coup d'état of 1973, when it disappeared during the bombing of the La Moneda palace. During the military regime of Augusto Pinochet a replica of the pioche was created, based on photographs of the original. It is only used together with the presidential sash.Ford Galaxie 500The president of Chile traditionally used an elegant horse drawn "Bandeja" Carriage imported from France by President José Manuel Balmaceda for ceremonial events until president Salvador Allende, not wanting to project the image of royalty that carriages now confer, used the black 1966 Ford Galaxie XL convertible acquired in 1968 for Queen Elizabeth II's visit to Chile as his official vehicle with a normally issued license plate (EL-2801).BOOK, The State Coaches of the Republic of Chile, Manrique, Father Jaimie, The Carriage Journal, Spring 1978, 373â375,weblink 15, 4, 5 August 2019,See alsoReferences{{reflist}}External links
