Vice President
On 23 September 1955 he was rewarded with the Vice Presidency at the Navy's insistence, and remained in the post until President Pedro Aramburu relinquished power to elected authorities in May 1958.
Rojas imposed a staunch anti-Peronist and anti-Communist as Vice President, though he supported Aramburu's call for Constitutional Assembly elections in 1957, overcoming objections from the largely conservative Navy. Peronism was banned, and remained so until 1972.
In 1958 as commander of Naval Operations of the Argentine Navy he was involved in the Snipe incident. He ordered the destruction of the Chilean lighthouse and its replacement with an Argentine one.

Famous quotes related to vice president:
“If the vice president thinks it’s disgraceful for an unmarried woman to bear a child, and if he believes that a woman cannot adequately raise a child without a father, then he’d better make sure that abortion remains safe and legal.”
—Diane British (b. 1948)
