The Vice President of Colombia (Vice president of the Republic) is the second highest executive officer of the Government of Colombia after the president of Colombia. The vice president ranks first in the presidential line of succession.
Background
The office of vice president was confirmed in the 1819 Constitution by the Congress of Angostura, with its first vice president, Francisco Antonio Zea. The office appeared again in the 1886 Constitution, and in its early years, it began to play a more significant role in Colombian politics as a counterbalance to the president. For this reason, it was abolished in 1905. Later, it was reestablished in 1991.
Presidential line of succession
The vice president is first in line to take over the presidency in case of the president’s death, resignation, removal, or permanent incapacity. Three vice presidents have succeeded to the presidency due to resignation or death: Miguel Antonio Caro, José Manuel Marroquín, and Ramón González Valencia.
In case of the vice president's death or removal, the members of the cabinet are next in line, following the president, in the order determined by law.

Notes
- ↑ Francisco Santos Calderón was the first vice president to have been legally allowed to seek an immediate second term by the 2nd Legislative Act of 2004 that amended Article 197 of the 1991 Constitution. Before that, the 1886 Constitution allowed vice presidents to seek a second term only in non-consecutive periods.
