North Carolina Gubernatorial Succession Debate Intensifies
The succession issue draws support from figures like Sam Ervin Jr. and Ed O’Herron with opposition led by Terry Sanford, James Holfhouser, and Citizens for the Right to Reject or Re-elect.

NCC currently bans consecutive terms, a status debated as 18 states adjust to allow second terms.
