[3] The provisions of the decree of 30 Mar 1918 (decreto n.° 3:997) which de facto replaced the Constitution of 1911 and created presidential republic did not provide for appointment of an officer holding the position of head of government. [4] João do Canto e Castro was elected to the office of Presidente da República and installed on 16 Dec 1918 and is presumed to have ceased to exercise the functions of Presidente do Governo.
