López participated in the government of [[Carlos María de Alvear]], and with his fall he was sent to prison. He held a few more public offices, and was then named Secretary of the Constituent Congress of 1825, and, a little later, minister for the president [[Bernardino Rivadavia]].
After the scandal of negotiations with the [[Brazilian Empire]], Rivadavia resigned the presidency. In his place, López was elected as caretaker, signing the dissolution of the Congress and calling elections in Buenos Aires. The new governor, [[Manuel Dorrego]] took charge of the ministry; this unified the federalists. When Dorrego fell from grace and was executed by firing squad by [[Juan Lavalle]], Lopez was exiled to [[Uruguay]].
== Late years == He returned in 1830 as a member of the Tribunal of Justice for [[Juan Manuel de Rosas]]. He was president of the Tribunal for many years and, among other things, presided over the judgement of the assassins of [[Juan Facundo Quiroga]]. He was president of the literary salon led by [[Marcos Sastre]], but was not part of the group known as the [[Generation of '37]], to which belonged his two sons, [[Vicente Fidel López]] and [[Lucio Vicente López]].
