Pedro Aleixo (1 August 1901 – 3 March 1975) served as President of the Chamber of Deputies in 1937 and as the 16th vice president of Brazil from 15 March 1967 to 14 October 1969. As President of the Chamber of Deputies he witnessed the coup d'état that installed the dictatorship of the Estado Novo in Brazil. In 2011, pursuant to Law Nº 12.486, dated 12 September, Aleixo was included in the gallery of those who were anointed by the Brazilian Nation to the Supreme Magistracy. This means that he should be considered an ex-president, for all legal purposes.
