Delcy Rodríguez continued serving as Venezuela’s acting president on Monday despite surpassing the 90‑day constitutional limit set by the country’s high court following the U.S. capture of Nicolás Maduro in January.
Lawmakers have yet to hold a public vote to extend her interim term beyond last week’s deadline, leaving her future in the role unclear.
A court order still recognizes Maduro as the official president, categorizing his absence as “forced” and temporarily preventing him from fulfilling his duties.
Interim appointments under the constitution can be extended by the National Assembly, controlled by Rodríguez’s party, which could also call a snap election if the presidency is declared permanently vacant.
