Editing Government of Argentina (section)

==Executive branch==
{{see also|Ministries of the Argentine Republic}} 
The current composition of the executive branch includes solely the [[President of Argentina|president]], who is the [[head of state]] and is formally given the power over the administration to follow through with the interests of the nation. The president is also the chief of the [[Argentine Armed Forces]].

The president and the [[List of vice presidents of Argentina|vice president]] are elected through [[universal suffrage]] by the nation. The [[1994 amendment of the Argentine Constitution|constitutional reform of 1994]] introduced a ''two-round system'', more popularly known in the country as [[ballotage]], by which the winning presidential ticket has to receive either more than 45% of the overall valid votes, or at least 40% of it and a 10% lead over the runner-up. In any other case, the two leading tickets get to face a second round whose victor will be decided by a simple majority. This mechanism was not necessary in the [[1995 Argentine general election|1995 election]], when it could have first come into use, nor in the ones in [[1999 Argentine general election|1999]], [[2007 Argentine general election|2007]], [[2011 Argentine general election|2011]], and [[2019 Argentine general election|2019]]. However, it was instrumental in the selection of [[Néstor Kirchner]] in [[2003 Argentine general election|2003]], of [[Mauricio Macri]] in [[2015 Argentine general election|2015]], and, most recently, of [[Javier Milei]] in [[2023 Argentine general election|2023]].

The cabinet of ministers is appointed by the president, but is not technically part of the executive power.<ref>{{Cite book|publisher=IBP, Inc.|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=s7efBQAAQBAJ&q=The+cabinet+of+ministers+is+appointed+by+the+president%2C+but+is+not+technically+part+of+the+Executive+Power&pg=PA33|title=Argentina Constitution and Citizenship Laws Handbook: Strategic Information and Basic Laws|date=2013-04-04|isbn=978-1-4387-7842-6|language=en}}</ref> The vice president belongs to the legislative branch, since they also hold the presidency of the senate.
