List of governors of Mississippi

January 01, 1970

The governor of Mississippi is the head of government of Mississippi[2] and the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.[2] The governor has a duty to enforce state laws,[3] and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Mississippi Legislature,[4] to convene the legislature at any time,[5] and, except in cases of treason or impeachment, to grant pardons and reprieves.[6]

To be elected governor, a person must be at least 30 years old, and must have been a citizen of the United States for twenty years and a resident of Mississippi for at least five years at the time of inauguration.[7] The Constitution of Mississippi, ratified in 1890, calls for a four-year term for the governor, elected via the two-round system since a 2020 referendum. Prior to this, the governor was elected by an electoral college composed of the districts represented in the Mississippi House of Representatives, with a contingent election held in the House in the event no candidate received a majority of district electors. The term length was originally two years,[8] with no limit on how many terms they could serve. The 1832 constitution limited governors to serving no more than four out of every six years.[9] When terms were lengthened to four years in 1868,[10] this limit was removed. The 1890 constitution forbid governors from succeeding themselves, but a 1986 amendment allows them to succeed themselves once.[2][11] The office of lieutenant governor was created in the 1817 constitution, abolished in 1832, and recreated in 1868. When the office of governor becomes vacant for any reason, the lieutenant governor exercises the powers of governor for the remainder of the term.[12]

The current governor is Republican Tate Reeves, who took office January 14, 2020.

List of governors edit

Mississippi Territory edit

Mississippi Territory was organized on April 7, 1798, from land ceded to the federal government by Georgia.[13] It had four governors appointed by the president of the United States during its 19-year history, including one, David Holmes, who would later serve as state governor.

State of Mississippi edit

Mississippi was admitted to the Union on December 10, 1817.[33] It seceded from the Union on January 9, 1861,[34] and was a founding member of the Confederate States of America on February 4, 1861.[35] Following the end of the American Civil War, Mississippi during Reconstruction was part of the Fourth Military District, which exerted some control over governor appointments and elections. Mississippi was readmitted to the Union on February 23, 1870.[36]

Notes edit

  1. ^ The range given is from the date the governor was confirmed by the Senate, or appointed by the President during a Senate recess, to the date the governor left office.
  2. ^ George Mathews was nominated on April 18, 1798,[15] but was withdrawn and Sargent nominated on May 2.[16] He was confirmed by the Senate on May 7,[17] and arrived in the territory on August 6.[14]
  3. ^ Claiborne was appointed on May 25, 1801,[19] during a Senate recess; nominated on January 6, 1802;[20] and confirmed by the Senate on January 26, 1802.[21] He arrived in the territory on November 23, 1801.[18]
  4. ^ Williams was nominated on March 1, 1805;[23] confirmed by the Senate on March 2;[24] and he arrived in the territory in May.[22] He was reconfirmed by the Senate on March 14, 1808.[25]
  5. ^ Holmes was nominated on March 6, 1809;[29] confirmed by the Senate on March 7;[30] and he arrived in the territory on June 30.[26] He was reconfirmed by the Senate on March 31, 1812,[31] and December 10, 1814.[32]
  6. ^ The office of lieutenant governor was created in 1817, abolished in 1832, and recreated in 1868.
  7. ^ Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  8. ^ Holmes resigned due to ill health.[27]
  9. ^ Represented the National Republican Party
  10. ^ Represented no party
  11. ^ Lynch is labeled a Whig by Kallenbach[52] and a Democratic-Republican by Glashan.[38]
  12. ^ All sources, modern and older, say Runnels took office on November 20; however, contemporary news shows he was inaugurated on November 21.[55][56]
  13. ^ The 1832 constitution specified that governor "shall hold his office for two years from the time of his installation;" thus, on November 21, 1835, two years after he took office, Runnels, having lost the 1835 election, left office. However, the legislature had set the start of the next term in January. The Senate met on December 3 and elected a new president, Quitman, who would act as governor until the governor-elect, Lynch, took office.[57]
  14. ^ McNutt's term constitutionally could only last two years, so on January 9, he left office and President of the Senate Jesse Speight became acting governor for one day.[64]
  15. ^ a b c Under the 1832 constitution, governors were ineligible to hold the office for more than four years in any term of six years.[65]
  16. ^ Quitman resigned after being arrested for his involvement in the Lopez Expedition; he was later acquitted.[57]
  17. ^ All senate terms ended on November 4; Secretary of State of Mississippi Joseph Bell acted as chief executive until the senate could convene and elect a new president.[75]
  18. ^ All modern sources say Whitfield took office November 24;[37] however, contemporary news reports say the final vote was the next morning.[80]
  19. ^ Foote resigned due to tensions resolving around secession.[81]
  20. ^ Under the 1861 constitution, governors were ineligible to hold the office for more than four years in any term of six years.[94]
  21. ^ Clark was arrested by Union forces.[95]
  22. ^ Humphreys was sworn in on October 16.[101] Sharkey was elected to the Senate on October 19, Humphreys signed his credentials on October 31, and Sharkey presented them to the United States Senate on December 12,[102] though he was refused his seat.[98] However, some reputable sources say Sharkey remained in office until December, when President Andrew Johnson ordered him to turn over power to Humphreys.[103]
  23. ^ Humphreys was removed by federal forces and replaced with a military governor after his failure to comply with the Reconstruction Acts.[101]
  24. ^ The 1865 election was officially non-partisan.[101]
  25. ^ Mississippi was readmitted to Congress on February 23, 1870, and Ames was elected to the United States Senate that same day. He left office upon the inauguration of James Alcorn.[106]
  26. ^ Alcorn resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate; his senate term had begun on March 4, 1871, but he delayed taking it.[109]
  27. ^ Ames resigned under threat of impeachment from the newly-elected Democratic legislature.[106]
  28. ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t Under the 1890 constitution, governors were ineligible to be their immediate successor.[123]

be elected governor a person must be at least 30 years old and must have been a citizen of the United States for twenty years and a resident of Mississippi for at least five years at the time of inauguration 7 The Constitution of Mississippi ratified in 1890 calls for a four year term for the governor elected via the two round system since a 2020 referendum Prior to this the governor was elected by an electoral college composed of the districts represented in the Mississippi House of Representatives with a contingent election held in the House in the event no candidate received a majority of district electors The term length was originally two years 8 with no limit on how many terms they could serve The 1832 constitution limited governors to serving no more than four out of every six years 9 When terms were lengthened to four years in 1868 10 this limit was removed The 1890 constitution forbid governors from succeeding themselves but a 1986 amendment allows them to succeed themselves once 2 11 The office of lieutenant governor was created in the 1817 constitution abolished in 1832 and recreated in 1868 When the office of governor becomes vacant for any reason
