List of Governors of Montana
The Governor of Montana is the head of the executive branch of Montana's state government〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 4.〕 and the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 7.〕 The governor has a duty to enforce state laws,〔 the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Montana State Legislature,〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 10.〕 to convene the legislature at any time,〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 11.〕 and to grant pardons and reprieves.〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 12.〕
The current Montana Constitution, ratified in 1972, calls for a four-year term for the governor, commencing on the first Monday in January following an election.〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 1.〕 The governor is term-limited to 8 years in any 16-year period.〔Montana Constitution, Article IV, Section 8.〕 The constitution provides for the election of a lieutenant governor for the same term as the governor. The two offices are elected on the same ticket;〔 a provision which did not appear in the state's first constitution, ratified in 1889. In the event of a vacancy in the office of governor due to resignation, disqualification, or death, the lieutenant governor becomes governor for the remainder of the term. If the governor is unable to perform his duties for any other reason, the lieutenant governor may become acting governor at the discretion of the state legislature.〔Montana Constitution, Article VI, Section 14.〕 The 1889 constitution made the lieutenant governor president of the state senate,〔Montana Constitution (1889), Article VII, Section 1.〕 but this provision was removed in the 1972 constitution.
Montana has had 24 governors (ten of whom were actually born within state boundaries), consisting of 9 Republicans and 15 Democrats. The longest-serving governor was John Edward Erickson, who was elected three times and served from 1925 to 1933 before resigning to become a U.S. senator, only two months into his third term. The shortest-serving governor was Elmer Holt, who served less than 13 months when the previous governor died. The current governor is Democrat Steve Bullock, who took office on January 7, 2013 and is serving his first term.
