[td][/td] [td]The Junta constituted the Regency of the Mexican Empire in the night session of September 28, 1821 with 5 members, which would exercise the [[Executive Power]], selecting Iturbide as president, and secretaries to [[Juan O'Donojú]] (replaced by [[Antonio Joaquín Pérez Martínez]] on 8 of October when he died), [[Manuel de la Bárcena]], [[José Isidro Yañez]] and [[Manuel Velázquez de León]], who had been secretary of the viceroyalty. Once the Junta realized that Agustín de Iturbide had been also elected president in the Regency, [[Antonio Joaquín Pérez Martínez]], the Bishop of [[Puebla]] was elected as the new president of the Junta, so then the "Executive Power" resided in the Regency and the "Legislative Power" in the Provisional Government Junta until the formation of a Constituent Congress. The [[Plan of Iguala]] stipulated a monarchical-constitutional government by a Congress.

[td][/td] [td]On May 19, 1822 the Congress met, where [[Agustín de Iturbide]] said that he would be subject to what the deputies, representatives of the people, decided, while the people cheered. The deputies Alcocer, Gutiérrez, Ansorena, Terán, Rivas, San Martín and others, faced the popular excitement trying that at least, the pronouncement was legalized by means of a plebiscite. The deputy [[Valentín Gómez Farías]], supported by 46 deputies, said that once the [[Treaty of Córdoba]] and the [[Plan of Iguala]] had been broken - since they had not been accepted in Spain - it was up to the deputies to cast their vote for Iturbide to be declared [[Emperor of Mexico]]. Gómez Farías added that he should be obliged to obey the Constitution, laws, orders and decrees issued by the Mexican Congress. The deputies began to debate in the midst of shouts and interruptions, then, proceeded to the vote. Iturbide was elected by 67 votes against 15. The crowd cheered the result and accompanied the generalissimo cheering him from Congress to his residence. By popular desire and by legitimate decision of the Congress, Agustin de Iturbide was proclaimed Constitutional [[Emperor of Mexico]] as Agustín I of Mexico.[/td]
