 This means that, on average, each legislature of the Chamber of Deputies had a life span slightly superior to three years.However, in the forty two years between the creation of the office of Prime Minister in 1847 and its abolition in 1889, there were thirty two appointments to the presidency of the Council, which means that prime ministerships lasted on average a little more than a year and four months.Certain politicians, however, like the Duke of Caxias, Marquis of Olinda, and Zacarias Góis e Vasconcellos managed to regain the prime ministership after having lost it.
