LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS OF MARYLAND
The office of Lieutenant Governor was created by the Constitution
of 1864 (Art. II, sec. 6). He served as President of the Senate, and
acted as Governor in case of the death, resignation, removal from
the State, or other disqualification of the Governor. The only incum-
bent of that office under the Constitution of 1864 was elected on
November 8, 1864, and he took. his oath of office on January II, 1865.
He served until January 8, 1868, although his term as specified by
the Constitution was for four years. The Constitution of 1867 con-
tained a special provision that the Governor could serve out the full
term for which he had been elected, it expiring on the second Wednes-
day of January 1869. This provision did not apply to the other officers
who had been elected in 1864.
The office was re-established by a Constitutional Amendment (Chap-
ter 532, Acts of 1970) ratified by the people on November 3, 1970.

GOVERNORS' COUNCILS, 1777-1838
The Constitution of 1776 (Art. XXVI) provided that both houses
of the Legislature elect by joint ballot five men to be "the Council
to the Governor." This was an. advisory body of considerable in-
i Governor Agnew, having been elected Vice President of the United States at the
general election of November 5, 1968, resigned on January 7, 1969. Marvin Mandel
was elected on the same day to fill the balance of Governor Agnew's term which
expired in January, 1971. Governor Mandel was subsequently elected to a full four-
year term on November 3, 1970.
* Chapter 576, Acts of 1970, changed the date of the beginning of the Governor's
term to the third Wednesday in January following his election.
