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 Gov-
ernor 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 constitutional
amendment (Chapter 532, Acts of 1970) ratified
by the people on November 3, 1970.

ADJUTANTS GENERAL

In response to an Act of Congress, the office of
Adjutant General was created in 1794 (Chapter
53, Acts of 1793). By the Constitution of 1851,
the Adjutant General was appointed by the Gov-
ernor with the advice and consent of the Senate
for a term of six years (Const. 1851, Art. 9, sec.
2). Instead of limiting the term of office, the 1864
Constitution provided that the Adjutant General
serve at the pleasure of the Governor (Const.
1864, Art. 9, sec. 3). Since 1867, the Adjutant
General has held his office until the appointment
and qualification of his successor, or until re-
moved in pursuance of the sentence of a court
martial (Const. 1867, Art. 9, sec. 2).
