The main innovations of this Constitution, compared to its predecessor, were: *The President, the two Vice-Presidents and members of Congress (deputies and senators) would be elected jointly every five years in general elections (previous renovations were abolished parliamentary by thirds or halves) *The set up the second round of the elections for President, should not reach more than half (50% plus one) of the votes validly cast *Strengthened the authority of the President of the Republic.
