Everything about The President Of Vietnam totally explained
The
President of Vietnam (
Vietnamese:
Chủ tịch nước Việt Nam) is the
head of state of
Vietnam, although the functions of the President are often ceremonial. The President is responsible for appointing the
Prime Minister and the Cabinet from among the members of the
National Assembly, basing his or her decision upon indications from the Assembly itself. Other offices the president holds include (nominal) Commander of the
Vietnamese military, and Head of the Council on National Defense and Security. He is also always a high-ranking member of Vietnam's ruling
Communist Party, as Vietnam is a
single-party state. So far, all presidents have been
male.
The President is elected by the National Assembly for a five year term. He is always elected from the Assembly itself.
The position of President was created when the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam was established on
2 July 1976. There have been six presidents since that point (assuming that Nguyen Huu Tho, who was only Acting President, isn't counted). From
4 July 1981, the title was changed from President to
Chairman of the State Council, but was restored to President from
22 September 1992.
