The LieutenantGovernor of Mississippi is the second highest ranking executive officer in Mississippi , right below the governor . The office of lieutenantgovernor was established when Mississippi became a state, abolished for a few decades in the first half of the 19th century, and restored later in the century. The LieutenantGovernor is President of the state Senate and presides over that body, only voting to break a tie. Compared to the lieutenant governors in other states, Mississippi s has a great deal of power concerning the state Senate. The LieutenantGovernor has the sole ability to appoint members, vice chairmen, and chairmen to the various Senate committees, regardless of each party s strength in the chamber. For example, former Lt. Gov. Amy Tuck , a Republican Party United States Republican , appointed other Republicans to the chairmanships of some committees, even though the Democratic Party United States Democrats had a 4 seat majority. Given that power, it is argued that the office is more powerful than the governorship. In the event of the death, resignation, or removal of the Governor, the LieutenantGovernor assumes the higher office. Also, if the Governor is out of state, then the LieutenantGovernor can act in the Governor s place. There is a two term limit, with each term being 4 years long. The majority of Mississippi Lieutenant Governors have been Democrats. Since the end of Reconstruction era of the United States Reconstruction , there have been only four Republicans Eddie Briggs , who served from 1992 to 1996, Amy Tuck, who served from 2000 to 2008.
