...elections he won more votes for the vice-presidency than Juscelino Kubitschek won for the presidency (Brazilians vote separately for President and Vice President). Once again Goulart was given control of the crowd-pleasing ministries-Labor and Agriculture. In the 1960 election campaign, arguing for the nationalization of power companies, foreign banks and meat-packing houses, he won the vice-presidency for a second time...
Roll the Presses. Inflation is a familiar and painful word to Brazil. From 1956 to 1961, Juscelino Kubitschek, a President in a hurry to develop his nation, printed carloads of currency to finance industrial projects and build the inland capital of Brasilia.

Goulart picked Kubitschek's man, Auro de Moura Andrade, the president of the Senate, and apparently counted on him to ask Congress for a national plebiscite to do away with the unworkable parliamentary system...
