===Republic of Colombia (1886–present)=== This list includes those persons who were sworn into, succeeded to, or forcibly took office as president of the present-day [[Republic of Colombia]] following the passing of the [[Colombian Constitution of 1886]], which took effect on 6 August 1886. For Colombian leaders before this, see the above lists. There have been 33 people in office, and 35 presidencies as [[Alfonso LĂłpez Pumarejo]] served two non-consecutive terms and is counted chronologically as both the 14th and 16th president, [[Alberto Lleras Camargo]] succeeded the presidency first in 1945 and later was elected to office in 1958. Out of the 33 individuals in office, 28 were elected president, four succeeded to the presidency ([[Miguel Antonio Caro Tobar]], [[RamĂłn GonzĂĄlez Valencia]], [[Jorge HolguĂn Mallarino]] and [[Alberto Lleras Camargo]]), two took the presidency by mounting a ''[[coup d'Ă©tat]]'' ([[JosĂ© Manuel MarroquĂn|JosĂ© Manuel MarroquĂn Ricaurte]] and [[Gustavo Rojas Pinilla]] against [[Manuel Antonio Sanclemente Sanclemente]] and [[Laureano GĂłmez|Laureano GĂłmez Castro]] respectively), three permanently resigned from office ([[Rafael Reyes Prieto]], [[Marco Fidel SuĂĄrez]] and [[Alfonso LĂłpez Pumarejo]]) and one died in office of natural causes ([[Rafael NĂșñez Moledo]]). Rafael NĂșñez Moledo, the first president, was actually inaugurated in 1884 as the 14th and last president of the United States of Colombia for a two-year constitutional term; in this capacity he was appointed by the National Constituent Assembly of 1885 to serve a new six-year term while the assembly drafted, passed, signed, and implemented a new constitution; at the end of this term he was elected in 1892 for his first constitutional six-year term as president of Colombia. NĂșñez spent the longest time in office with 10 years, 5 months, and 17 days, but having only spent 2 years, 1 month, and 11 days as the elected president of Colombia before his death. The longest serving elected president was [[Ălvaro Uribe VĂ©lez]] with 8 years between 2002 and 2010 having been re-elected for a second term in 2006. RamĂłn GonzĂĄlez Valencia spent the shortest time in office with just 1 year between 1909 and 1910 when he was elected by Congress to finish the term that President Rafael Reyes Prieto had resigned to. The shortest serving elected president was Manuel Antonio Sanclemente Sanclemente with 1 year, 11 months, and 24 days before he was deposed. [[Carlos Eugenio Restrepo Restrepo]], was the first president to serve under the new four-year constitutional term after the Constitutional Reform of 1910 when he was appointed president by that year's National Constituent Assembly; the first elected president to serve the four-year constitutional term would be his successor, [[JosĂ© Vicente Concha Ferreira]] elected in 1914. Eduardo Santos Montejo was the first to be [[Universal manhood suffrage|elected by men of all classes]] in 1938 after all land-ownership and literacy restrictions were repealed by the Constitutional Reform of 1936. [[Alberto Lleras Camargo]] in 1958 became the first president elected after women gained voting rights after the Constitutional Reform of 1954. The vice presidency was abolished after the Constitutional Reform of 1905 and was only re-introduced after the passing of the [[Colombian Constitution of 1991]] which remains in place. Article 127 of the Colombian Constitution of 1886 only allowed for re-election of the president in a non-immediate form; this was changed by the Constitutional Reform of 2005 allowing for immediate re-elections for a maximum of two terms. Under the [[Colombian Constitution of 1991]], the [[President of Colombia]] is the [[head of state]] and [[head of government]] of the [[Republic of Colombia]]. As chief of the executive branch and head of the [[Government of Colombia|national government]] as a whole, the presidency is the highest political office in Colombia as measure by influence and recognition. The president is also the [[commander-in-chief]] of the [[Military Forces of Colombia|military of Colombia]]. The president is [[direct election|directly elected]] to a four-year [[Term of office|term]] in a [[Universal suffrage|popular]] [[election]]. The ''Legislative Act 2 of 2004'' established that no person may be elected president more than twice,<ref name="Colombia, Congress of"/> allowing Ălvaro Uribe and [[Juan Manuel Santos]] consecutive reelection in 2006 and 2014 respectively. Nonetheless, in 2015 Congress reformed the Constitution again and suppressed consecutive and non-consecutive presidential reelection.<ref>{{cite news |title=Congreso eliminĂł la reelecciĂłn presidencial en Colombia |url=http://www.eltiempo.com/politica/congreso/congreso-elimino-definitivamente-la-reeleccion-presidencial/15886541 |access-date=16 July 2022 |work=El Tiempo |date=7 July 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150707135554/http://www.eltiempo.com/politica/congreso/congreso-elimino-definitivamente-la-reeleccion-presidencial/15886541 |archive-date=7 July 2015 |language=es}}</ref> Since 1991 Constitution it was established that if no presidential candidate obtain more than 50% of the popular vote a run-off vote is needed. Upon the death, resignation, or removal from office of an incumbent president, the vice president assumes the office. The president must be at least 30 years of age and a "natural born" citizen of Colombia. ;; Political parties {{legend|{{party colour|National Party (Colombia)}}|[[National Party (Colombia)|National]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Colombian Conservative Party}}|[[Colombian Conservative Party|Conservative]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Colombian Liberal Party}}|[[Colombian Liberal Party|Liberal]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Republican Union Party (Colombia)}}|[[Republican Union Party (Colombia)|Republican Union]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|#6B8E23|[[Military Forces of Colombia|Military rule]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Colombia First}}|[[Colombia First]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Union Party for the People}}|[[Union Party for the People|National Unity]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Democratic Center (Colombia)}}|[[Democratic Center (Colombia)|Democratic Center]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {{legend|{{party colour|Humane Colombia}}|[[Humane Colombia]]|border=1px solid #AAAAAA}} {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center;" |- ! colspan="10" | [[File:Flag of Colombia.svg|30px]] âą [[Republic of Colombia]] âą [[File:Escudo de Colombia.svg|30px]] |- !
