He led the party in his home province of [[La Rioja Province (Argentina)|La Rioja]] and was elected governor in 1973. He was deposed and detained during the [[1976 Argentine coup d'état]] and was elected governor again in 1983. He defeated the Buenos Aires governor [[Antonio Cafiero]] in the primary elections for the [[1989 Argentine general election|1989 presidential elections]]. [[Hyperinflation]] and riots forced outgoing president [[Raúl Alfonsín]] to resign early, shortening the presidential transition.

Menem supported the [[Washington Consensus]] and tackled inflation with the [[Convertibility plan]] in 1991. The plan was complemented by a series of [[Privatization|privatizations]] and was initially a success. Argentina re-established diplomatic relations with the [[United Kingdom]], suspended since the 1982 [[Falklands War]], and developed special relations with the United States. The country suffered two terrorist attacks. The Peronist victory in the 1993 midterm elections allowed him to persuade Alfonsín (by then leader of the opposition party [[Unión Cívica Radical|UCR]]) to sign the [[Pact of Olivos]] for the [[1994 amendment of the Argentine Constitution]]. This amendment allowed Menem to run for re-election in [[1995 Argentine general election|1995]], which he won. A new economic crisis began, and the opposing parties formed a political coalition winning the [[1997 Argentine legislative election|1997 midterm elections]] and the [[1999 Argentine general election|1999 presidential election]].<ref name="auto3" />

He was investigated on various criminal and corruption charges, including [[Argentine arms trafficking scandal|illegal arms trafficking]] (he was sentenced to seven years in prison), [[Embezzlement|embezzlement of public funds]] (he was sentenced four and half years to prison), [[extortion]] and [[bribery]] (in both of which he was declared innocent). His position as senator earned him immunity from incarceration.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/13/world/americas/argentina-ex-president-prison/index.html|title=Argentina: Ex-president gets 7 years in prison for arms smuggling|work=CNN|date=13 June 2013}}</ref><ref name="auto1">{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7564660.stm|title=Americas &#124; Menem probed over 1995 explosion|work=BBC News|date=16 August 2008|access-date=28 October 2010}}</ref>

Menem ran for the presidency again in [[2003 Argentine general election|2003]], but faced with a likely defeat in a [[Ballotage in Argentina|ballotage]] against [[Néstor Kirchner]], he chose to pull out, effectively handing the presidency to Kirchner. He was elected senator for La Rioja in 2005. By the time of his death in 2021 at age 90, he was the oldest living former Argentine president.{{efn|The rest of former living Presidents of Argentina at the time of his death were [[Isabel Perón]], [[Adolfo Rodríguez Saá]], [[Eduardo Duhalde]], [[Cristina Fernández de Kirchner]] and [[Mauricio Macri]], all younger than him. Current President [[Alberto Fernández]] was also younger than him at the time of his death.}} He is regarded as a polarizing figure in Argentina, mostly due to corruption and economic mismanagement throughout his Presidency{{ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́}}
