Vacancies
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed underArticle II, Sections 6 and 7.
Regarding the governor-elect, if that individual dies or resigns, the lieutenant governor shall become the governor for the full term. If the governor-elect fails to take office for any other reason, the lieutenant governor shall take over with the title of 'Acting Governor' only until the vacancy is permanently filled.
When the governor is temporarily unable to discharge the office, whether or not he or she is able to communicate that in writing to the lieutenant governor, the latter shall become the acting governor. Before resuming her or his duties, the governor must inform the lieutenant governor in writing of the fact.
At any time, by a three-fifths vote, the General Assembly may declare the governor, or the lieutenant governor, mentally or physically unfit to hold the office. For purposes of taking such a vote, a member of the Assembly may call both chambers into a joint session. If such a resolution concerning the governor's fitness for office is adopted, it shall be delivered to a Maryland Court of Appeals, which shall, in turn, make a decision. The same process applies to a governor-elect or a lieutenant governor-elect.
If the governor's seat becomes otherwise vacant, the lieutenant governor shall assume the office and complete the term. After the lieutenant governor, the President of the Senate is next to succeed. He or she shall, as acting governor, retain the title of 'Senate President', but the Senate shall nominate another member to execute the actual tasks of that office.
Under circumstances when the governor-elect fails to take office, theMaryland Court of Appeals has exclusive jurisdiction in settling disputes and issues that arise from that situation.
With respect to Article III, Section 26 of the Constitution, the legislature may remove and impeach the governor or the lieutenant governor.
Duties
Because of the extent of his or her constitutional powers, thegovernor of Maryland has been ranked among the most powerful governors in the United States.
The governor is the commander-in-chief of all Maryland's naval and militia forces, though he or she may not take direct command without the consent of the legislature.
With the consent of the Senate, the governor nominates and appoints all civil and military officers whose manner of appointment is not otherwise provided in law. However, under §10 and 10A, "lame duck" governors lose that privilege. Specifically, a governor who has lost a primary or a general election in a re-election bid in the span between the election he lost and the inauguration loses appointment prerogatives. The same applies to a term-limited governor in the span between Election Day and Inauguration Day. The only exception is for emergencies, which require the governor to file a statement of emergency with theMaryland Secretary of State; such appointments may be revoked by the succeeding governor.
At his or her pleasure, the governor may remove any appointee for incompetence or misconduct. Rare among governors, Maryland's chief executive may also suspend any military officer and may, further, initiate a court martial. (§ 15)
At least twice each year, the governor must, under oath, examine thetreasurer and theComptroller of Maryland, and review the state's books. (§ 18) Under § 19, the governor also gives a periodic address to the legislature on the condition of the state and makes recommendations.[2]
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- Convening extraordinary session of the legislature, or the Senate alone, as well as moving the location of the legislature's meeting under special circumstances (§ 16)
- Vetoing all bills from the legislature, including appropriations bills, subject to a legislative override (§ 17)
- Granting pardons and reprieves, saves in cases in impeachment, and forfeiting fines, provided he follows a certain protocol for notifying lawmakers and citizens of such action (§ 20)
- Reorganizing the Executive Branch, including establishing and abolishing entire departments, offices, and agencies (§ 24)
Divisions
Note:Ballotpedia's state executive officials project researches state official websites for information that describes the divisions (if any exist) of a state executive office. That information for the Governor of Maryland has not yet been added. After extensive research we were unable to identify any relevant information on state official websites.

The state operates on an annual budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:[3]
- Budget instructions are sent to state agencies inJune of the year preceding the start of the new fiscal year.
- State agencies submit their budget requests to thegovernor betweenAugust and October.
- The governor submits his or her proposed budget to thestate legislature on thethird Wednesday in January.
- The legislature typically adopts a budget by the83rd day of the session. A simple majority is required to pass a budget. The fiscal year beginsJuly 1.

The governor is constitutionally required to submit a balanced budget proposal. Likewise, the legislature is required to adopt a balanced budget.[3]
Governor's office budget

Compensation
The salaries of the governor and lieutenant governor are decided upon by the Governor’s Salary Commission, a seven-member commission created by a 1976 amendment inSection 21A of theMaryland Constitution. The commission includes three members appointed by the President of the Senate, and three members appointed by the Speaker of the House of Delegates. Appointees serve a four-year term.[2]
The commission may not recommend, and the legislature may not amend, the salary to be lower than that most recently received by the incumbent governor. Whatever the outcome, the decided-upon salary takes effect with the beginning of the next gubernatorial term. If either the commission or the Assembly fails to take action, the same salary already in place applies.[8]
Maryland Constitution, Article II Section 21A
| (c) Within 10 days after the commencement of the regular session of the General Assembly in 1978, and within 10 days after the commencement of the regular session of the General Assembly each fourth year thereafter, the commission shall make a written recommendation to the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and other members of the General Assembly as to the salary of the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. (e) The commission may not recommend salaries lower than that received by the incumbent Governor at the time the recommendation is made.[2] |

History
Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992 to 2013, in Maryland there were Democratic governors in office for 18 years while there were Republican governors in office for four years, including the last seven. Maryland is one of seven states that were run by a Democratic governor for more than 80 percent of the years between 1992-2013. Maryland was under Democratictrifectas for the last seven years of the study period.
Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992 to 2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
