What did the 1994 constitutional amendment allow Menem to do?

  • Dissolve Congress

  • Extend term limits

  • Run for re-election

  • Change the national flag

Answer

The 1994 constitutional amendment enabled then-President Carlos Menem to run for re-election, lifting the previous constitutional ban on immediate presidential re-election. This amendment allowed Menem to seek a second consecutive term in office, which he subsequently won, becoming the first Argentine president to do so since the country's return to democracy in 1983.
