Portuguese Presidents and Prime Ministers

This list is comprised of Portuguese Presidents and Prime Ministers. Portugal became a constitutional monarchy in 1834, at which time the Prime Minister (called in Portuguese Presidente do Conselho de Ministros until 1976, and Primeiro-ministro thereafter) was the head of government. After a revolution in 1910 Portugal became a republic and the office of President was created to be the official head of state.
