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- fluence. It was also provided that on the death, removal, or in- capacity of the Governor the first named of the Council should become Governor and proceed to the calling of a special session of the Legis- lature for the election of a new Governor. The Council was abolished in 1838 by means of a constitutional amendment (Acts 1836, ch. 197, sec. 13; Acts 1837, ch. 84). ' Due to constitutional amendment of 1922, providing for (quadrennial elections, the Governor elected in 1923 served three years. Thereafter gubernatorial terms began in odd years. |
