Delfim Moreira da Costa Ribeiro (Portuguese: [dewˈfim moˈrejrɐ da ˈkɔstɐ riˈbejru]; 1868–1920) was a Brazilian politician. He was born in Minas Gerais state, and was elected vice-president in 1918. He assumed the presidency on November 15, 1918, due to the illness and death of former (1902–1906) and now elect president Rodrigues Alves. However, Moreira suffered from psychological problems, and left his duties to the ministers. Following the constitution, he called elections in 1919, and returned to the vice-presidency until his death. He was born to a Portuguese father and to a Portuguese Brazilian mother who traced her ancestry back to the early settlers of Brazil.^[1]
