May 13 ,1811 , Durango,Nueva Vizcaya (nowDurango state)—August 20 ,1859 ,Paris ) was interimpresident of Mexico from January 6 to February 8 of 1853. He was a moderate Liberal.His family moved from Durango to Valladolid (
Morelia ) when he was very young. He received his education there, culminating in a law degree from the College of San Nicolás in 1835. While at the college, he became friends withMelchor Ocampo andSantos Degollado . In 1842, and again in 1851, he was elected to the Mexican Congress.From May 1852 to January 1853 he was president of the Mexican Supreme Court. In this position, he succeeded to the presidency when the conservatives forced
Mariano Arista from office onJanuary 6 ,1853 . Shortly after becoming president, he asked Congress for the extraordinary powers it had denied to Arista, and they were granted.Nevertheless, Congress rejected many of his initiatives, and he dissolved it militarily on January 19, calling for a constitutional convention. Congress continued to meet in a private house, naming
Juan Mújica y Osorio as president, but Mújica did not accept. This led to intervention by the Mexico City garrison underManuel Robles Pezuela , which removed Ceballos and made GeneralManuel María Lombardini president (Plan de Hospicio ).Ceballos returned to the Supreme Court. In 1856 he was elected deputy from Michoacán and Colima to the Constituent Congress (1856-57). President
Antonio López de Santa Anna , who succeeded Lombardini, nominated him to the Order of Guadalupe, but Ceballos rejected the honor, not being a supporter of Santa Anna. For this snub, Santa Anna exiled him.Ceballos left for Europe. He died in Paris in 1859.
