Governors of the State of Indiana

Indiana was admitted to the Union on December 11, 1816.

The original 1816 Constitution of Indiana provided for the election of a governor and a lieutenant governor every three years, limited to six years out of any nine-year period.[1] The second and current constitution of 1851 lengthened terms to four years and set the commencement of the governor's term on the second Monday in the January following the election.[2] Governors were allowed to serve for four years in any eight-year period,[2] but a 1972 amendment permitted governors to serve for eight years in any twelve-year period.[3] Should the office of governor become vacant, the lieutenant governor becomes governor.[4] If the office of lieutenant governor is vacant, the president pro tempore of the Indiana Senate becomes governor;[4] this has happened once, when James B. Ray succeeded William Hendricks.[5]

List Of Governors Of Indiana Media

Notes

  1. The official site labels Eric Holcomb as the 51st governor;[6] based on this, repeat non-consecutive terms are numbered.
  2. Does not include acting lieutenant governors. All lieutenant governors represented the same party as their governor.
  3. Jennings resigned, having been elected to the United States House of Representatives.[8]
  4. Jennings was appointed a United States commissioner to conclude a treaty with native tribes on April 15, 1818; after this time, Harrison was acting as governor. However, by accepting the post, Harrison believed Jennings had vacated the seat, and thus felt he had succeeded Jennings to the governorship. The state legislature declined to confirm this, and Harrison resigned on December 18, 1818.[11]
  5. Hendricks resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.[15]
  6. 6.0 6.1 Under the 1816 constitution, governors were not capable of holding the office longer than six years in any term of nine years.[19]
  7. Kallenbach labels Ray a Clay Republican,[10] but Glashan[20] and Sobel[17] label him a Democratic-Republican.
  8. As the office of lieutenant governor was vacant, president pro tempore of the Senate Ray succeeded Hendricks.[18]
  9. Represented the Jacksonian faction
  10. Whitcomb resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.[33]
  11. 11.00 11.01 11.02 11.03 11.04 11.05 11.06 11.07 11.08 11.09 11.10 11.11 11.12 11.13 11.14 11.15 11.16 11.17 11.18 11.19 11.20 11.21 11.22 Under the 1851 constitution, governors were ineligible to hold the office more than four years in any period of eight years.[42]
  12. First term under the 1851 constitution, which lengthened terms to four years.[2]
  13. Lane resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.[52]
  14. Morton resigned, having been elected to the United States Senate.[56]
  15. Baker acted as governor from October 1865 to March 1866 while Morton sought treatment for a stroke and handed over executive powers.[59]
  16. 16.0 16.1 Represented the Republican Party
  17. McCray resigned following his conviction for mail fraud, and served three years in prison; he was pardoned by President Herbert Hoover in 1930.[104]
  18. It is unknown if the 1972 constitutional amendment allowing for a second term would have impacted Whitcomb; either way, he did not run in the 1972 election.
  19. 19.0 19.1 19.2 19.3 19.4 Under a 1972 amendment to the constitution, governors were ineligible to hold the office more than eight years in any period of twelve years.[146]
  20. Pence won the Republican nomination, but withdrew on July 15, 2016, when Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump selected Pence as his vice presidential running mate. As Pence was barred by Indiana law from simultaneously running for both offices, he subsequently withdrew from the gubernatorial election.[159]
  21. Braun's current term will expire on January 8, 2029.
