The Chief of State of Portugal is the President of the Republic, elected to a five-year term by direct, universal suffrage. He has essentially supervision and reserve powers. These powers are often compared with the moderator power that was held by the King in the Portuguese Constitutional Monarchy.he Portuguese Restoration War between Portugal and the Spanish Empire, in the aftermath of the 1640 revolt, ended the sixty-year period of the Iberian Union under the House of Habsburg.

The result of the Carnation Revolution was the toppling of a dictatorship which had prevailed for almost 50 years.
