Born in San Luis, Rodriguez Saá completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Buenos Aires, where he earned a law degree in 1974, specializing in Constitutional Guarantees.

Serving this position in 1986, he voted against the Ley de Punto Final that established the suspension of legal proceedings against the perpetrators of illegal detentions, torture and murder during the military dictatorship.

With presidential aspirations of his own,[1] in October 1993 he voted against the government project to amend the National Constitution and allow the reelection of the then-President Carlos Menem, known as the "Pacto de Olivos".

He won the award for his policies in San Luis on "Social Inclusion", "Sustainable Environment", "Health and Work", "Nuclear Nonproliferation," and "General Welfare."
