LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS OF
MARYLAND

The office of lieutenant governor was created
by the Constitution of 1864 (Art. 2, Sec. 6). He
served as president of the Senate, and acted as
governor in case of the death, resignation, remov-
al from the state, or other disqualification of the
governor. The only incumbent of that office un-
der the Constitution of 1864 was elected on No-
vember 8, 1864, and he took his oath of office on
January 11, 1865. He served until January 8,
1868, although his term as specified by the Con-
stitution was for four years. The Constitution of
1867 contained a special provision that the gover-
nor could serve out the full term for which he
had been elected, which expired on the second
Wednesday of January 1869. This provision did
not apply to the other officers who had been
elected in 1864.
The office was reestablished by a Constitution-
al Amendment (Chapter 532, Acts of 1970) rati-
fied by the people on November 3, 1970.
