As such, he was responsible to both the president and the national assembly, and for the relations between the executive and legislative branches of the government. Diosdado Cabello's background is in engineering: he has an undergraduate degree in systems engineering and a graduate degree in engineering project management. Within the government, he organized the pro-Chvez paramilitary organizations called "Crculos Bolivarianos". On April 13, 2002, he took on the duties of the presidency on a temporary basis, replacing Pedro Carmona, head of the Venezuelan Chamber of Commerce, as interim president after Hugo Chvez was overthrown in a coup d'tat. Cabello said that "I, Diosdado Cabello, am assuming the presidency until such time as the president of the republic, Hugo Chvez Fras, appears." A few hours later, Chvez was back in office. On April 28, 2002, Cabello was replaced as vice president by Jos Vicente Rangel. External link - http://www.venezuela.gov.ve/ns/index.htm
