José Miguel de Velasco Franco (Spanish pronunciation: [xoˈse miˈɣel de βeˈlasko ˈfɾaŋko] ; 29 September 1795 – 13 October 1859) was a Bolivian military officer and statesman who served as the fourth president of Bolivia on four occasions: 1828, 1829, 1839–1841, and 1848. Velasco also served as the second vice president from 1829 to 1835 under Andrés de Santa Cruz, though the first two of his terms were as vice president-designate, pending Santa Cruz's arrival to the country. Velasco was involved throughout his life in early Bolivian politics and was the protagonist of two of the moments of greatest instability in the country. Read more on Wikipedia
