Governors

[edit]

Before 1776, Delaware was acolony of theKingdom of Great Britain, administered bycolonial governors inPennsylvania as the "Lower Counties on Delaware".

In 1776, soon after Delaware and the otherThirteen Colonies declared independence from Britain, the state adopted itsfirst state constitution. It created the office of President of Delaware, a chief executive to be chosen by the legislature to serve a term of three years, who would be ineligible to be president again until three years had passed after leaving office.[4]

The office of President was renamed Governor by theconstitution of 1792,[5] which set the commencement date of the term to the third Tuesday in the January following an election, and limited governors to serving only three out of any six years.[6] The term was lengthened to four years by the1831 constitution, but governors were limited to a single term.[7] Thecurrent constitution of 1897 allows governors to serve two terms.[8]

The 1776 constitution stated that if the presidency were vacant, the speaker of the legislative council would be a vice-president.[9] The 1792 constitution has the speaker of the senate exercising the office when it is vacant, and the 1897 constitution created the office of lieutenant governor,[10] upon whom the office devolves in case of vacancy.[11] The offices of governor and lieutenant governor are elected at the same time but not on the sameticket.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^The official website labels John Carney as the 74th governor;[12] this indicates that repeat, non-consecutive terms are numbered.
  2. ^The office was named president until 1792.[5]
  3. ^The office of lieutenant governor was created in 1897,[10] with the first election taking place in 1900.
  4. ^Lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor unless noted.
  5. ^Most sources do not specify the day McKinly was captured; at least one specifies that McKinly and the city of Wilmington were captured the day after theBattle of Brandywine, which was on September 11, 1777.[17]
  6. ^McKinly was captured and taken prisoner byBritish forces.[18] He wasexchanged for loyalist GovernorWilliam Franklin of New Jersey in August 1778.[19]
  7. ^abSpeaker of the Assembly McKean acted as chief executive until the return of speaker of the Legislative Council Read from theContinental Congress inPhiladelphia, who then served as vice-president for the remainder of the term.[23]
  8. ^Kallenbach has Rodney leaving office on November 5, with a gap until Dickinson takes office, with no reason given.[22]
  9. ^abUnder the 1776 constitution, presidents were ineligible to the office until three years had passed after leaving it.[28]
  10. ^Sources disagree on when Dickinson took office; the proceedings of the assembly, published in 1988, says his inaugural address was delivered November 13;[31] the governor's register, published in 1926, says he was elected on November 13 and inaugurated on November 14.[32]
  11. ^Dickinson was electedPresident of Pennsylvania and took office November 7, 1782, holding both presidencies simultaneously. Criticism of this caused him to turn administration of the state over to Speaker of the Legislative Council Cook, but Dickinson did not formally resign until January 13, 1783.[14][33]
  12. ^Clayton's first term was as president, so he was eligible to run for a term as governor.[50]
  13. ^abcdefghUnder the 1792 constitution, governors could serve no longer than three in any term of six years.[51]
  14. ^abSources disagree on if Bedford died on September 28 or September 30, sometimes within the same source.[56]
  15. ^The constitutional start date for the term in 1799 was January 15; multiple sources say Bassett took office January 9, but it is not known why it was off schedule.[22][63] A few sources do say he took office January 15.[64]
  16. ^Bassett resigned, having been confirmed to theUnited States Third Circuit Court.[61]
  17. ^abDue to the death of Governor-elect Molleston, there was some question as to who should take office when Clark's term ended. To minimize any confusion, Clark resigned a few days ahead of schedule, and the newly elected state senate chose a speaker, John Stout, who would act as governor for one year of Molleston's term before a special election was held for the remaining two years.[92][93]
  18. ^Special election to serve out the last two years of Henry Molleston's term[93]
  19. ^The governor's register has Haslet being inaugurated on January 22, but it specifies the third Tuesday in January, which in 1823 was the 21st.[105]
  20. ^Haslet died on June 20;[109] Thomas was not sworn in until June 24.[110]
  21. ^Because of the death of Haslet so early in his term, an early election was called. Unlike when Henry Molleston died, where the election was only for the final two years of his term, in this case the new election was for a new three-year term, causing the election schedule to shift.[93]
  22. ^abcdefghijklmnUnder the 1831 constitution, governors were not eligible a second time to the office.[124]
  23. ^First term under the 1831 constitution, which lengthened terms to four years.[7]
  24. ^Special election called due to the deaths of Stockton and Maull, causing a shift in the election schedule.[157]
  25. ^Because Marvil died so early in his term, the General Assembly decided to conduct an election for a full term in 1896, changing the election schedule.[216]
  26. ^abcdefRepresented theDemocratic Party
  27. ^abcdefUnder the 1897 constitution, governors were not eligible a third time to the office.[243]
