2. The non-removability recognised by legislation in force shall be respected until Congress approves and the Government sanctions and promulgates the complementary legislation regulating the administrative career. The non-removability which this Constitution guarantees shall become effective on fulfilment of the requisites and conditions established in the law to be enacted by Congress, which shall comprise all civil officers, employees and workers of the Nation, the Provinces and the Municipalities, with the sole exception of those officers, employees and workers who show that they have been in the public administration more than 20 years.

3. The non-removability guaranteed by the preceding transitory provision also comprises civil officers, employees and workers of the autonomous entities or corporate bodies.

4. The right is recognised, of members of the dissolved National Army, the National Navy, and the National Police, who being in active service on September 4, 1933, did not continue in the ranks, to a retirement pension that shall be granted to them and to their heirs whose right is recognised by law, in the manner and amount that the law shall determine and which can at no time be less in amount than that established at present. This right is also recognised to those who, having been receiving retirement pay, lost it, provided this was not by a resolution of the courts. This provision shall be regulated by law.

. A vacancy arising in the senatorial representation of any Province, chosen at the general elections of January 10, 1936, shall be covered, without an alternate, at the first election held. and shall pertain to the political party or associated political parties, as the case may be, which obtains a majority of the votes, in accordance with the provisions in force at said election.
