1-6 same manner as the governor. The term of office of each shall be the same

1-7 as is prescribed for the governor.

1-8 2. Any elector shall be eligible to any of these offices, but no person

1-9 may be elected to any of them more than twice, or more than once if he has

1-10 previously held the office by election or appointment.

1-15 Resolved, That the amendment made to section 19 of article 5 of the
