Talk:List of heads of state of Argentina

message: "Acting" is not an adequate link for de facto presidents. I think this formulation should be replaced by "de facto". Andres 15:27, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: Ramón Puerta and Eduardo Caamaño were never actually Presidents of Argentina.  Puerta was the "Presidente Provisional del Senado" (Provisional President of the Senate) at the time of the resignation of President Fernando de la Rúa, and Camaño was "Presidente de la Cámara de Diputados" (President of the Lower House") when Rodríguez Saa resigned.
According to the Argentine law (Ley de Acefalía), in case of death or resignation of the President, the VicePresident is to be charged President.  Nonetheless, nor De la Rua nor Rodríguez Saa had Vicepresidents at the time.  In that case, (always according to Argentine law), the Provisional President of the Senate, or if he she ressigns/dies, the President of the Lower House, has to Provisional assume the Executive power.  But these two do not become "President".  They act as "Provisional President of the Senate, in exercise of the Executive Power", and the law orders them to call for general elections as soon as possible.
Therefore, Puerta and Caamaño were never Presidents of the country, and their inclusion in the Argentine Presidents list is mistaken.
The media, at the time, called them "presidents", but that is not correct.  It would be like calling Cheney "President" everytime that Bush is outside the US, just because in that moment Cheney exercises the Executive branch in the country.
I would suggest to take out Puerta's and Camaño's names form the Argentine Presidents list, as that is a mistake.  Otherwise, you should add a reference for this (or any other) further explanation of the issue.

message: I'm currently working on the State leaders by year project, but there seems to be a period without any formal head of state frome 1820 to  1826. Any ideas how Argentina should be listed for this time period? Fornadan (t) 11:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: State leaders by year

message: In the early sections it may make sense to keep separate lists of a few entries, Juntas, triumvirates, unipersonal offices, lack of national heads of state, etc; are completely different things. However, since Mitre there's little need to keep those small lists constantly "interrupted" by pieces of text. From that point, it should be a single table. This may be done with a system similar to the one used at List of Presidents of Venezuela, wich is a featured list (a status this list should aspire to achieve as well). I haven't choose that specific list randomly: besides being featured, Venezuela also has a history of legal presidents and presidents that took office after coups, having to make notice of which is which. It is done with entry colours for each party (and military being a "party" for these purposes), and an additional field to notice the way the president took power. Things like the dates when universal suffrage is installed or the start of historical periods (such as the infamous decade or the return to democracy may be noted on the "notes" section, without need to interrupt the list.

thread_title:  Numbering 

message: There's a little misunderstanding, both here and in some other articles. It is said that Rosas was given the power manage the international relations of Argentina, other times it is said (or implied) that he did so out of hegemony over the other provinces. Either thing is mistaken. This arrangement did not start with Rosas, it started with the fall of Rivadavia. With the lack of national authorities of any kind, the provinces granted a few things to the Governor of Buenos Aires Province (more to the office itself than to whoever is in charge of it) such as managing the international relations. This allowed Manuel Dorrego to formally end the War with Brazil; otherwise it would have stayed an open war up to 1853. Rosas came later. The confusion may be located in the granting of the sum of public power given to Rosas in 1835, which gave him unlimited power. That's another and different thing. Rosas did not receive the power to manage international relations as part of the sum of public power. And, as it can be understood from this context, it was not an act of hegemony of Rosas (meaning, a politician doing things that he isn't legally or politically meant to do, but does so anyway because of his political power), but simply that, for good or bad, the Confederation was arranged that way. If there was an hegemony in this, it was the hegemony of Buenos Aires, which existed long before Rosas and remained long after him. MBelgrano (talk) 18:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  International relations 

message: I have been checking this list with the info in the book "El final", listed in the bibliography, which makes an overall summary of the careers of all presidents and the way each one took and left government. 
At page 263, it rejects the common idea of listing Puerta and Camaño as presidents, or the myth of the 5 presidents in 10 days. It states that neither the reading of the law of lack of president, the involved politicians or any constitutionalists agree with it: the idea accepted in those fields is that there were 3 presidents, De la Rúa, Rodríguez Saá and Duhalde. 
The popular recognition to the "Five presidents" thing seems to have started at the US, where some TV humorist (not mentioned) was making jokes about Bush and mentioned a terrible fate for him, the one that took place in Argentina days before, with 5 presidents. The joke became popular, both in the US and in Argentina. After all, as the book points, if someone wants to provide shocking info to illustrate the chaotic days of 2001 in Argentina, 5 is more shocking than 3. 
If we view things from this angle, it seems clear that Puerta and Camaño should be removed from here. The perspective of specialists take precedence over "popular" or shocking perspectives, if they are incorrect. 
For a similar reason, I suggest removing as well the "Third Triumvirate" that ruled interim for 2 days. I have plenty of history books about the time period, and I have yet to find one making any mention of it. MBelgrano (talk) 02:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: They should go and so does a so called Third Triumvirate. Unless there are un-impeachable sources as you well know. Rumors and common folklore don't belong in the list. -- Alexf(talk) 12:36, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Puerta and Camaño 

message: What should we do with Cisneros? Should we left him here, or remove him?
By one side, it is correct that he was president of a Junta. For just one day, rigth, but he wasn't meant to be interim (at least, not more than the Primera Junta itself; you surely know the details very well). He did make the oath of office and all the stuff. 
On the other side, I doubt we will ever find any source including him as a head of state of Argentina of any nature. The "birth" of Argentina, the government regarded as the first national one, is the Primera Junta, headed by Saavedra, which was actually ousting the Cisneros junta. I included him a long time ago when I included as well a list of viceroys, my idea by then was to simply include anyone that ever ruled in the lands that would become Argentina; and the mention of Cisneros helped to understand the political chaos (the Junta ruled in Buenos Aires, but the Viceroy in Montevideo rejected such authorithy). 
In more broad terms, the right question should be, when should we start counting heads of state? 9 of july of 1816? 25 of May of 1810? The creation of the viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata? The establishment of Buenos Aires? The viceroys of Peru? MBelgrano (talk) 22:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cisneros 

message: Other lists of heads of state include a colour scheme at the fields or at the side to note the political parties. I did not include it because in those other cases there are a handful of parties, but here there are so many that it would become a colourful rainbow that would say very little. But now that I think of it, we may reduce them all into a colour scheme of 5 parties (Federals, Unitarians, Justicialists, Radicals, and Military), by grouping alliances or split parties with their main ones. De la Rúa was elected with the Alianza, and Kirchner with the Front for Victory, but if seen from a global perspective I doubt anyone would reject grouping them with the radicals and peronists.

thread_title:  Parties 

message: Here a proposal for the color key box format. The "liberal" grouping is quite vague, but it should include Mitre, Sarmiento and Avellaneda. I did not incluide the PAN under "Conservative", because it was actually a big tent party that mostly behave as a Latin American 19th Century Liberal Party (Church-State separation, Education policies, Foreign Trade and Investment, etc.). Any further information about Pedernera's or Mitre's actual affiliations? BTW, I think we should background colour the "affiliations" column on the table, creating one extra column for this is excessive. Salut, --IANVS (talk) 08:28, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi. This list states that Kirchner and Fernández, etc, were elected by "direct free elections". By law, in Argentina elections are not free, but mandatory. --Againme (talk) 21:34, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: "Free" means that there were no anomalies in the elections, such as fraud (as with Justo or Ortiz) or proscriptions (as with Justo or Frondizi). If you check the whole table, not just the last two entries, you will notice that each one points the way each head of state got to power. Cambalachero (talk) 00:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  This article is one of the worst articles of wikipedia presidents that were not, etc. 

message: In the table, Juan Perón's last vice president, Alberto Teisaire, is shown as serving from May 7, 1954 to September 16, 1955. But the article on Teisaire says that he held on until he resigned on September 23, the same date that Eduardo Lonardi, the leader of the coup, moved up from provisional president to "official" president. Even though Lonardi obviously didn't want him, Teisaire was still constitutionally the vice president for those three days that Lonardi was provisional president.
I believe that Teisaire should be shown as having served from May 7, 1954 to September 23, 1955, and that he should be shown as vice president during Lonardi's three days as provisional president. I tried for many hours to edit the table accordingly, and could not do so. Could somebody with more knowledge do the editing, or is there some reason this cannot be changed?
