The '''Vice-President of the Ashukov Federation''' is a legislative and executive officer in the Republic of Ashukovo. He is appointed by the [[President of the Ashukov Federation|President]] and performs Presidential tasks whenever they cannot be fulfilled by the President himself.
The office came to replace the position of [[Prime Minister of the Ashukov Federation|Prime Minister]] in early 2017.

==Origin and history==
The office of Vice-President was established on January 29, 2017 by [[President of the Ashukov Federation|President]] [[Edward Jacobs]], with the purpose of assisting the President in establishing the Second Federation. Albeit a temporary position at first, it became permanent after the Second Constitution was adopted.

The Vice-President was granted some of the late Prime Ministerial powers, such as presiding over the upper house of the Council of the Federation - the [[House of Territories (Ashukovo)|House of Territories]]. As a consequence, the office of Prime Minister was dissolved. The first appointed Vice-President was [[Manolis Afentoulis]].

On April 5, 2020, following the establishment of the Republic of Ashukovo, the office of Vice-President underwent major reforms. 

==Powers and duties==
The Vice-President is a mandatory member of the Council of Ministers whose executive authority is on par with the Ministers.
The President may delegate some of his powers through a Presidential Decree to the Vice-President.

The Vice-President is ranked second in the succession line to the Presidency.
