List of governors of Ohio

The governor of Ohio is the head of government of Ohio<ref>Ohio Constitution article III, § 5.</ref> and the commander-in-chief of the U.S. state's military forces.<ref>Ohio Constitution article III, § 10.</ref> The officeholder has a duty to enforce state laws, the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Ohio General Assembly,<ref>Ohio Constitution article II, § 16.</ref> the power to convene the legislature<ref>Ohio Constitution article III, § 8.</ref> and the power to grant pardons, except in cases of treason and impeachment.<ref>Ohio Constitution article III § 11.</ref>

There have been 64 governors of Ohio, serving 70 distinct terms. The longest term was held by Jim Rhodes, who was elected four times and served just under sixteen years in two non-consecutive periods of two terms each (1963–1971 and 1975–1983). The shortest terms were held by John William Brown and Nancy Hollister, who each served for only 11 days after the governors preceding them resigned in order to begin the terms to which they had been elected in the United States Senate; the shortest-serving elected governor was John M. Pattison, who died in office five months into his term.

The current governor is Republican Mike DeWine (R), who took office on January 14, 2019, and was re-elected in 2022. After eight years the incumbent is term-limited and ineligible to seek a third consecutive term in the 2026 Ohio gubernatorial election.

Qualifications

To become governor of Ohio, a candidate must be a qualified elector in the state. This means that any candidate for governor must be at least 18 years old at the time of election, a resident of Ohio for at least 30 days before the election, and a U.S. citizen. Convicted felons and those deemed by the courts as incompetent to vote are not eligible. There is a term limit of two consecutive terms as governor.

Powers

The governor is the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws; the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Ohio State Legislature; the power to convene the legislature; and the power to grant pardons, except in cases of treason and impeachment.

Other duties and privileges of the office include:

• Executing all laws and requiring written information on any office from the head of that office
• Making an annual address to the General Assembly, with recommendation for legislation
• Convening extraordinary sessions of the legislature with limited purposes
• Adjourning the legislature when the two chambers cannot agree to do so themselves, not to include the privilege of adjourning the legislature past the sine die set for the regular session
• Keeping and using "The Great Seal of the State of Ohio"
• Signing and sealing all commissions granted in the name of the state of Ohio
• Nominating, in the event of a vacancy in the Lieutenant Governor's office, a new officer, subject to a confirmatory vote of both chambers of the legislature
• Making vacancy appointments for all "key state officers" (the Auditor, the Treasurer, the Secretary of State, and the Attorney General. Such appointments are for the remainder of the term when the next general election is less than 40 days away and until the next general election otherwise
• Accepting a report from the head of each executive department at least once a year, not later than five days before the regular session of the legislature convenes, and including the substance of those reports in the annual address to the legislature
• Making all appointments not otherwise provided for, with the advice and consent of the Senate, unless the Senate refuses to act, in which case the Governor's appointee takes offices by default

Succession

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}} Should the office of governor become vacant due to death, resignation, or conviction of impeachment, the lieutenant governor assumes the title of governor. Should the office of lieutenant governor also become vacant, the president of the senate becomes the acting governor.<ref>Ohio Constitution article III, § 15</ref> If the vacancy of both offices took place during the first twenty months of the term, a special election is to be held on the next even-numbered year to elect new officers to serve out the current term.<ref>Ohio Constitution article III, § 17</ref> Prior to 1851, the speaker of the senate acted as governor for the term.<ref>Ohio Constitution article II, § 12</ref> Since 1978, the governor and lieutenant governor have been elected on the same ticket; prior to then, they could be (and often were) members of different parties.<ref name="steinglass">Template:Cite book</ref>

Northwest Territory

The Territory Northwest of the Ohio River, commonly known as the Northwest Territory, was organized on July 13, 1787.<ref>Northwest Ordinance Template:Webarchive, July 13, 1787; (National Archives Microfilm Publication M332, roll 9); Miscellaneous Papers of the Continental Congress, 1774–1789; Records of the Continental and Confederation Congresses and the Constitutional Convention, 1774–1789, Record Group 360; National Archives.</ref> Many territories and states were split from Northwest Territory over the years, with the last portion being split between Indiana Territory and the newly admitted state of Ohio on March 1, 1803.<ref>Template:Usstat</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Throughout its 15-year history, Northwest Territory had only one governor appointed by the federal government, Arthur St. Clair. He was removed from office by President Thomas Jefferson on November 22, 1802, and no successor was named; Secretary of the Territory Charles Willing Byrd acted as governor until statehood.<ref name="smith">Template:Cite book</ref>

State of Ohio

Ohio was admitted to the Union on March 1, 1803. Since then, it has had 64 governors, six of whom (Allen Trimble, Wilson Shannon, Rutherford B. Hayes, James M. Cox, Frank Lausche, and Jim Rhodes) served non-consecutive terms.

The first constitution of 1803 allowed governors to serve for two-year terms, limited to six of any eight years, commencing on the first Monday in the December following an election.<ref>Ohio Constitution article II, § 3</ref> The current constitution of 1851 removed the term limit, and shifted the start of the term to the second Monday in January following an election.<ref name="steinglass" /> In 1908, Ohio switched from holding elections in odd-numbered years to even-numbered years, with the preceding governor (from the 1905 election) serving an extra year.<ref>Article XVII (adopted November 1905) of Constitution, section 2: "And the General Assembly shall have power to so extend existing terms of office as to effect the purpose of section 1 of this article." and section 3 : "Every elective officer holding office when this amendment is adopted shall continue to hold such office for the full term for which he was elected and until his successor shall be elected and qualified as provided by law." source: Template:Cite book</ref> A 1957 amendment<ref name="steinglass" /> lengthened the term to four years and allowed governors to only succeed themselves once, having to wait four years after their second term in a row before being allowed to run again.<ref>Ohio Constitution article III, § 2</ref> An Ohio Supreme Court ruling in 1973 clarified this to mean governors could theoretically serve unlimited terms, as long as they waited four years after every second term.<ref name="steinglass" />
