Schism in County Clerk Tenure Spurs Constitutional Ruling
A court ruling voided a 1929 law intended to lengthen the term of county clerks by delaying office takeoffs. Joshua L. Zaewize and Paul W. Enmeier sought to determine who legally held the clerk’s office, with the state constitution limiting tenure to eight of twelve years. The decision means Quilliam will leave office March 12, 1936, despite potential changes aimed at preserving the law’s intent.
