List of Lieutenant Governors of Idaho

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The office of lieutenant governor has existed in the US state of Idaho since the state's accession to the Union in 1890. The lieutenant governor acts as a representative and, if necessary, as a successor to the governor ; he is also president of the state senate .

Initially, the lieutenant governors served a two-year term; since the constitution was changed, the term of office has been four years. The lieutenant governor is elected by the people in a separate election (not on a so-called ticket together with the governor).
