1994 Argentina constitutional reform

From Freepedia

The 1994 reform to the Argentine Constitution was approved on 22 August, and addressed several important points. Among the changes were:

  • The length of the presidential term was shortened from six to four years.
  • The reelection of the president and the vice-president was allowed (only two consecutive terms).
  • The requirement for the president to be a Roman Catholic was removed.
  • The terms of senators and representatives (diputados) were also shortened.
  • The electoral system, formerly an indirect vote (as in the United States) became a direct election, with a ballotage system.
  • The capital, Buenos Aires, was given the special status of Autonomous City (Ciudad Autónoma).
