ISO/Maryland Manual

The Governor is commander in chief of the military forces of the State—the National Guard—ex-
cept when such forces are called into the national service. If the National Guard is thus called, he may
establish a State Guard.

The Governor appoints all military and civil officers of the State subject to the advice and consent
of the Senate, except when the election or appointment of such officers is otherwise provided for. In
addition to appointing the heads of major departments, boards, and commissions of the State govern-
ment, the Governor appoints certain boards and commissions in each county and the City of
Baltimore as provided for by law. The Governor also commissions notaries public and appoints per-
sons to fill vacancies in the offices of Attorney General, Comptroller, and members of the General As-
sembly. Any officer appointed by the Governor, excepting members of the General Assembly, is re-
movable by him for cause.

The Governor may grant pardons to persons convicted of criminal acts against the State, commute
the sentences of prisoners of the State, and remit fines and forfeitures for offenses against the State. He
may extradite prisoners or persons wanted by other States upon the presentation of a writ of extradi-
tion and may issue a warrant for the arrest of any person so wanted. The Governor may also ask for
the return to this State of any prisoner or person of another State wanted for the violation of the laws
of Maryland (Const. 1867, Art. II, sec. 20).
