The vice president of Syria (Arabic: نائب رئيس سوريا) is a political position in Syria. The Constitution states that in the case of the president's temporary disablement, the vice president may become acting president.[1] Multiple people can hold the office of vice presidency at the same time. The president of Syria appoints vice presidents.[2]
