The '''lieutenant governor of Alabama''' is the president of the [[Alabama Senate]], elected to serve a four-year term. The office was created in 1868,<ref name="1868const-art5sec1">1868 Const. art. V, § 1</ref> abolished in 1875,<ref name="1875const-art5sec1">1875 Const. art. V, § 1</ref> and recreated in 1901.<ref name="const-art5sec112">AL Const. art. V, § 112</ref> According to the current constitution, should the governor be out of the state for more than 20 days, the lieutenant governor becomes [[acting governor]], and if the governor dies, resigns or is removed from office (via impeachment), the lieutenant governor ascends to the governorship.<ref>AL Const. art. V, § 127</ref> Earlier constitutions said the powers of the governor devolved upon the successor, rather than them necessarily becoming governor,<ref>1819 Const. art. IV, § 18; 1861 Const. art. IV, § 18; 1865 Const. art V, § 19; 1868 Const. art. V, § 15; 1875 Const. art.

== History == |
|||
The '''governor of Wyoming''' is the [[head of government]] of [[Wyoming]], and the [[commander-in-chief]] of the [[U.S. state]]'s [[Wyoming Military Department|military department]]. |
|||
In 1868, the state of Alabama issued a constitution which provided for the office of lieutenant governor. The document prescribed that the officer was to serve as the president of the [[Alabama Senate|State Senate]] and cast tie-breaking votes in that body, and made them first in line of succession to the governor's office.<ref name= moody/> [[Andrew J. Applegate]] was the first person to serve as lieutenant governor.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/reconstruction-constitutions/| title = Reconstruction Constitutions| last = Shiver| first = Joshua| date = March 27, 2023| website = Encyclopedia of Alabama| publisher = Alabama Humanities Alliance| access-date = July 12, 2023}}</ref> In 1875, [[conservative Democrat]]s determined the content of a new constitution which abolished the office in an attempt to reduce the size of state government. Alabama convened another constitutional convention in 1901. During its session, the incumbent governor died. Partly motivated by the lack of a clearly delineated line of gubernatorial succession, the delegates reestablished the office of lieutenant governor with responsibilities similar to those it previously held. Its constitutional responsibilities have been little altered since.<ref name= moody>{{cite web| url = https://encyclopediaofalabama.org/article/office-of-the-lieutenant-governor/| title = Office of the Lieutenant Governor| last = Moody| first = Brad| date = March 27, 2023| website = Encyclopedia of Alabama| publisher = Alabama Humanities Alliance | access-date = July 10, 2023}}</ref> |
|||
Since the office's inception, 31 people have served as lieutenant governor of Alabama. Of those, only two have served two terms or more. The first woman to hold the office, [[Lucy Baxley]], served from 2003 to 2007.<ref name= moody/> |
|||
The gubernatorial term has been set at four years since statehood. Originally, a governor could be elected any number of times. Since a 1992 referendum, governors have been limited to eight years in office during any 16-year period—effectively limiting them to two consecutive terms. |

|||
The lieutenant governor serves as president of the State Senate and assumes the office of governor in the event the gubernatorial office becomes vacant.<ref>{{cite news| title = On more look at what's on the Alabama ballot| newspaper = The Dothan Eagle| agency = Associated Press| page = A8 | date = November 8, 2022| url = https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-dothan-eagle/128081504/}}</ref> Senate rules empower the lieutenant governor to determine the composition of Senate committees and refer bills to committees of their choosing. As a result, the lieutenant governor typically exercises significant influence over the progress of legislation in the body.<ref name= moody/> |
|||
The state constitution does not provide any remedy in the event the lieutenant governor's office becomes vacant.<ref name= moody/> In such an instance, their role as the presiding officer of the State Senate is assumed by the Senate president pro tempore.<ref>{{cite news| last = Lockette| first = Tim| title = Governor resigns amid affair scandal, pleads to two charges| newspaper = The Anniston Star| pages = 1A, [https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-anniston-star/128023954/ 4A]| date = April 11, 2017| url = https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-anniston-star/128023947/}}</ref> |

The lieutenant governor of Alabama is the president of the Alabama Senate, elected to serve a four-year term. The office was created in 1868,[1] abolished in 1875,[2] and recreated in 1901.[3] According to the current constitution, should the governor be out of the state for more than 20 days, the lieutenant governor becomes acting governor, and if the governor dies, resigns or is removed from office (via impeachment), the lieutenant governor ascends to the governorship.[4] Earlier constitutions said the powers of the governor devolved upon the successor, rather than them necessarily becoming governor,[5] but the official listing includes these as full governors.[6] The governor and lieutenant governor are not elected on the same ticket.
History
[edit]In 1868, the state of Alabama issued a constitution which provided for the office of lieutenant governor. The document prescribed that the officer was to serve as the president of the State Senate and cast tie-breaking votes in that body, and made them first in line of succession to the governor's office.[7] Andrew J. Applegate was the first person to serve as lieutenant governor.[8] In 1875, conservative Democrats determined the content of a new constitution which abolished the office in an attempt to reduce the size of state government. Alabama convened another constitutional convention in 1901. During its session, the incumbent governor died. Partly motivated by the lack of a clearly delineated line of gubernatorial succession, the delegates reestablished the office of lieutenant governor with responsibilities similar to those it previously held. Its constitutional responsibilities have been little altered since.[7]
Since the office's inception, 31 people have served as lieutenant governor of Alabama. Of those, only two have served two terms or more. The first woman to hold the office, Lucy Baxley, served from 2003 to 2007.[7]
Duties, powers, and structure
[edit]The lieutenant governor serves as president of the State Senate and assumes the office of governor in the event the gubernatorial office becomes vacant.[9] Senate rules empower the lieutenant governor to determine the composition of Senate committees and refer bills to committees of their choosing. As a result, the lieutenant governor typically exercises significant influence over the progress of legislation in the body.[7]
The state constitution does not provide any remedy in the event the lieutenant governor's office becomes vacant.[7] In such an instance, their role as the presiding officer of the State Senate is assumed by the Senate president pro tempore.[10]
