LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS

The office of Lieutenant Governor was created
by the Constitution of 1864 (Art. 2, sec. 6). The

Lieutenant Governor served as president of the
Senate, and acted as governor in case of the death,
resignation, removal from the State, or other dis-
qualification of the Governor. The only incumbent
of that office under the Constitution of 1864 was
elected on November 8, 1864, and took the oath
of office on January 11, 1865. He served until Jan-
uary 8, 1868, although the term as specified by
the Constitution was for four years. The Constitu-
tion of 1867 contained a special provision that the
Governor 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 elect-
ed in 1864.

The office was reestablished by a constitutional
amendment ratified by the people on November 3,
1970 (Chapter 532, Acts of 1970).
