Early life

Chanis earned his Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Edinburgh in 1917,[2] practicing medicine in both Panama and Scotland.[3] Chanis published a paper in the American Urological Association's Journal of Urology in 1942 titled "Some Aspects of Hermaphroditism: Report of a Case of Female Pseudohermaphroditism" in 1942.[4] He also served as General Council of Panama in Liverpool and London, and as Treasury Minister.[3]

First Vice-President

National police forces, under the command of Remón, were called in ostensibly to maintain the monitor the elections,[5] though in reality their presence was intended to sway the voting to Diaz Arosemena,[5] the preferred candidate of the United States.[6] Chanis ran as the First Vice-Presidential candidate with Díaz Arosemena. Though Arias appeared to have 1,500 more votes than Díaz Arosemena following the May 9 election,[5] the Panamanian national elections jury declared Díaz Arosemena the winner on August 6 by a margin of approximately 2,400 votes.[7] Arias fled to Costa Rica following the decision.[5] Chanis assumed the duties of First Vice=President on October 1, 1948.[7]

President

Chanis was sworn in as acting chief executive on July 28, 1949, when then president Domingo Diaz Arosemena took a six-month leave for health reasons.[8] Chanis became president following Arosemena's death on August 23, 1949.

1949 coup d'état

Chanis's presidency came to an end on November 20, 1949. Panamanian Police Chief José Remón led a coup d'état in response to Chanis's refusal to overturn a Panama Supreme Court decision invalidating a contract between an abattoir that was "part of Remón's business empire"[9] and several powerful Panamanian families. Chanis had asked for Remón's resignation previously,[2] and, when Remón refused, tendered his own resignation in protest.[10] Whether this resignation was voluntary or forced by Remón is unclear,[2][10] although it would appear that foreign diplomatic pressure, not wanting to see full out bloodshed, encouraged the resignation.[10] Chanis was replaced by Second Vice-president, and Remón's cousin,[5] Roberto Chiari.

Coup aftermath

Shortly after his resignation, Chanis had a change of heart and withdrew his resignation,[9] claiming it came under duress,[11] and delivered a "blistering attack"[10] on Remón before the General Assembly. The Assembly, at the behest of former president Harmodio Arias,[10] supported Chanis, and prepared for confrontation with the national police.[10] Chiari forced his hand, however, and demanded the Panama Supreme Court rule on who, he or Chanis, was the constitutional president; the Supreme Court came back in favor of Chanis by a 4–1 vote.[11] This misstep, and his desire to avoid violence, led Remón to replace him with his former "bitter political enemy"[12] Arnulfo Arias, with the approval of the Panama Congress.[12] To legitimize the presidency, the national election jury, who had in 1948 ruled against Arias, " found pro-Arias votes it had been unable to find in weeks after the 1948 balloting".[10]
