The Vice President of Indonesia (called Wakil Presiden Republik Indonesia in Indonesian) is the second most important leader in the Indonesian government. They are right after the President. If something happens to the President, the Vice President takes over.
Since 2004, the President and Vice President are chosen together by a direct vote from the people. They serve for a five-year term.
The idea for a Vice President came from the group that helped prepare Indonesia's independence in 1945. On August 18, 1945, a special committee chose Sukarno as the first President and Mohammad Hatta as the first Vice President.
