Question 05 - VUNESP - 2018 - PM-SP - In August 1969, President Costa e Silva suffered a serious heart attack. An intense power struggle ensued over the succession. According to the 1967 Constitution, then in force, Vice-President Pedro Aleixo should immediately succeed the president, in the event of his death or incapacity for the duties of the position. But Pedro Aleixo had openly opposed the AI-5, thus not serving the purposes of the armed forces that controlled the state. The High Command of the Armed Forces, endowed with extraordinary powers, concluded that “the constitutional solution was not viable”, deciding that the presidency would be exercised by a junta by the ministers of the Army, Navy and Air Force.
