SEC. 10. The Governor shall nominate, and by and with the advice
and consent of a majority of the Senators elect, appoint all
officers, whose offices are established by this Constitution,
and whose appointments are not otherwise provided for.
SEC. 11. The Lieutenant-Governor shall be President of the
Senate, but shall have no vote unless the Senate be equally
divided. He shall, whilst acting as President of the Senate,
receive for his services the same pay which shall, for the same
period, be allowed to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives; and he shall receive no other compensation
except when he is acting as Governor.
SEC. 12. In case of the impeachment of the Governor, his failure
to qualify, his absence from the State, his inability to
discharge the duties of his office, or, in case the office of
Governor shall in anywise become vacant, the powers, duties and
emoluments of the office shall devolve upon the Lieutenant-
Governor until the disabilities shall cease, or a new Governor
shall be elected and qualified. In every case in which the
Lieutvaant-Governor shall be unable to preside over the Senate,
the Senators shall elect one of their own number President of
their body, and the powers, duties and emoluments of the office
of Governor shall devolve upon him whenever the Lieutenant-
Governor shall, for any reason, be prevented from discharging
the duties of such office as above provided, and he shall
continue as acting Governor until the disabilities are removed,
or a new Governor or Lieutenant-Governor shall be elected and
qualified. Whenever, during the recess of the General Assembly,
it shall become necessary for the President of the Senate to
administer the government, the Secretary of State shall convene
the Senate, that they may elect such President.
SEC. 13. The respective duties of the Secretary of State,
Auditor, Treasurer, Superintendent of Public Instruction and
Attorney General shall be prescribed by law. If the office of
any of the officers shall be vacated by death, resignation or
otherwise, it shall be the duty of the Governor to appoint
another until the disability be removed or his successor be
elected and qualified. Every such vacancy shall be filled by
election at the first general election that occurs more than
thirty days after the vacancy has taken place, and the person
chosen shall hold the office for the remainder of the unexpired
term fixed in the first section of this Article.
