Flawed Ohio Succession Law Spars Governing Governor Pattison Death
The Pattison death highlights Article 15 of Ohio’s 1851 constitution which lacks a clear gubernatorial succession rule. Lieutenant Governor Harris becomes acting governor, with full powers but no official title until 1908. Senate president Williams would act as lieutenant governor, then Speaker Thompson if Williams cannot serve. A constitutional amendment is urged for the fall 1908 election to allow acting governors to be officially designated. Also notes a remedy debate and mentions Dean’s Ointment ad at end.
