SRIBMAN MITTELMAN, Ariel. The vice presidency in Mexico: a pending debate. Estud. polít. (Méx.) [online]. 2019, n.48, pp.73-94.  Epub 04-Jun-2020. ISSN 0185-1616.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fcpys.24484903e.2019.48.70421.

This article takes up a debate started in 2009 by Max González Reyes, in which he advocated the restoration of the Vice Presidency in Mexico. Here, on the contrary, the marked conflicting character of the vice presidency is analyzed in all the Latin American countries that have such figure, to draw as conclusion the inconvenience of recovering the Vice Presidential figure, as it is the origin of political instability - and its main mission, the succession of the president, can be solved through numerous different mechanisms.
