When Zaza dies Mike will be boss again, until in 1980 in Sicily, when Vincent is nominated as successor. Will he be the definitive boss?

-Vito Corleone: 1919/1933-1950 (BOSS)
Santino “Sonny” Corleone: 1948 (acting boss)
-Michael Corleone: 1950-1980 (BOSS)
Pete Clemenza: 1955-1957 (acting boss?)
Frank Pentangeli: 1957-1959 (acting boss?)
Michael Corleone...or another person : 1959-1961
Fausto Dominick “Nick” Geraci: 1961-1962
Michael Corleone... or another person: 1962 -?
Joey Zaza: ?-1980
Michael Corleone: 1980-1980
-Vincent Corleone: 1980- ? (BOSS)

What do you think? Yours opinions, please smile ...
Peter Clemenza was not acting-Boss of the Corleone Family. He was Caporegime. He was also a highly ranked member of a small gang in Little Italy. Frankie Pentangeli was not acting-Boss of the Corleone Family. He was Caporegime. He succeeded Peter Clemenza as Caporegime after he had died. [/b]
Yes, they were caporegimes. But according to Winegardner and The Godfather II, Clemenza and Pentangeli supervise the NY businesses (a big caporegimes?) while Mike resides in Nevada until 1962, when he returns to NY. Mike is boss of a NY´s Family and meanwhile he lives in a another State (Nevada)??... it´s rare.
Is it possible that Clemenza and Pentangeli were nominally a sort of acting bosses in NY, with more power than a current caporegime?
Thanks
