Khaberni - The Supreme Court in Venezuela has ordered Vice President Delcy Rodríguez to temporarily take over the presidency following the arrest of President Nicolás Maduro by the United States.
The Constitutional Chamber of the Court stated that "Rodríguez, as the responsible party, assumes all responsibilities, duties, and powers vested in the position of President of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in order to ensure the continuity of administration and the comprehensive defense of the nation."
The judges have not currently declared Maduro permanently absent, which would have led to early elections within 30 days.
