After Independence

After its independence in 1816, Argentina was a federation without an effective central government. In those years, it was first known as "Provincias Unidas del Río de la Plata" (United Provinces of the River Plate) and later as "Provincias Unidas de Sud América" (United Provinces of South America).

The Argentine Republic

The last Chairman of Foreign Relations, Justo José de Urquiza, organized a constitutional convention that composed the Constitution of 1853. This constitution resuscitated the figure of the President, and the presidents elected hereafter are often described as 'constitutional presidents', as they portray the presidential figure as described by the constitution that, through its amendments, is still effective in Argentina to this day.

In 1930 the first military coup d'etat occurred in Argentine history. The resulting leader, who assumed the title of president, was followed in the charge by other presidents who, as regarded by most historians, were not elected by transparent vote as the presidents who had preceded them.1955 military coup, also known as "Revolución Libertadora" ("Liberating Revolution"):New democratical restoration, short-lived because of political turmoil:A new constitutional amendment in 1994 re-enabled presidential reelection (abolished in 1957), leading to a second term of the current president. The succeeding president, Fernando de la Rúa, resigned due to the Argentine economic crisis, leading to a line of interim presidents, concluding in the election of the current president as of 2007:
