message: What's the best way to handle these? It seems weird to have them lumped in after the governors they were acting for, like Beasley. One could propose that it should read Wallace from Jan 18 1971 to June 5 1972, Beasley from June 5 1972 to July 7 1972, and Wallace from July 7 1972 to January 15 1979. But on the other hand, Wallace was still governor during the time that Beasley was acting, so it seems incorrect to have a gap there. Any ideas? --Golbez (talk) 06:28, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hugh McVay is said in this article to have been the shortest-serving governor of Alabama not to have been acting governor, but his own article says that he was "acting governor of Alabama from July 17, 1837 to November 30, 1837..." so which is really true?  2600:1004:B16F:EB9:24FD:EAC4:CD4:8F47 (talk) 23:37, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: hm I'm guessing it's coming from the source , which specifically notes "acting" governors but doesn't do that for McVay, probably because he ascended to the office before there were strict rules for it. --Golbez (talk) 03:58, 21 July 2017 (UTC)

message: Outstanding questions:
* Did Bagby succeed McVay on November 22 or November 30? State has been emailed.
** State says "According to my research, McVay was appointed interim governor after C. C. Clay resigned to take a seat in Congress.  I also found one article from the Voice of Sumter (Livingston, AL) dated November 28, 1837 that states “Inauguration – On Tuesday 21st instant, A. P. Bagby Governor elect of this state, was installed into office at 12 M (noon).”". 
* I would really like to know why O'Neal succeeded Comer on November 17, based on the court ruling, but none of the other governors are considered to have been the next day. 
* Why did Applegate take office as Lt Gov on August 13, and not July 14?

thread_title:  Post-1907: Midnight term ends/begins 

message: Is there a meaningful distinction between an "acting" who replaced a deceased or resigned governor, and one who properly "succeeded" to the office? Like, I know they can be differing concepts, but are they so close as to be irrelevant in most cases? In the few cases where it matters (like where the president of the senate loses their senate seat while acting as governor, but I don't think that happens in Alabama) we could go into more detail, but I noticed that Kallenbach says they didn't care about the distinction, so I'm wondering if we should. It starts to feel like synthesis when I'm interpreting a constitution. --Golbez (talk) 21:12, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
