Emory holds that after the 1945 constitutional amendment, which extended a sheriff’s term to four years and removed the bar on incumbents seeking reelection, Frederick County Sheriff Guy Anders and other county sheriffs may succeed themselves. The Baltimore city rule allowing incumbents to serve again was already in effect.
