The area that became Utah was part of theMexican Cessionobtained by the United States on May 19, 1848, in theTreaty of Guadalupe Hidalgofollowing theMexican–American War.[8]

State of Deseret

[edit]

A constitutional convention was convened inSalt Lake Cityon March 8, 1849, to work on a proposal for federal recognition of a state or territory. The convention resulted in the provisionalState of Deseret.Deseret claimed most of present-day Utah,NevadaandArizona,with parts ofCalifornia,Colorado,Idaho,New Mexico,Oregon,andWyoming.Brigham Youngwas elected governor on March 12, 1849, and the legislature first met on July 2, 1849.[9][10]The state, having never been recognized by the federal government, was formally dissolved on April 5, 1851,[11]several months after word of the creation of Utah Territory reached Salt Lake City.

Territory of Utah

On September 9, 1850, as part of theCompromise of 1850,Utah Territorywas organized, encompassing roughly the northern half of Deseret.[12]The news did not reachSalt Lake Cityuntil January 1851.[13]Governors of the Utah Territory were appointed by the president of the United States, and other than Brigham Young, they were frequently consideredcarpetbaggerpatronage appointees.[14]

State of Utah

[edit]

The State of Utah was admitted to the Union on January 4, 1896.

The governor has a four-year term, commencing on the first Monday of the January after an election.[70]TheConstitution of Utahoriginally stated that, should the office of governor be vacant, the power be devolved upon theSecretary of State,[71]but the office ofLieutenant Governorwas created in 1976, and a 1980 constitutional amendment added it to the constitution.[72]If the office of governor becomes vacant during the first year of the term, the lieutenant governor becomes governor until the next general election; if it becomes vacant after the first year of the term, the lieutenant governor becomes governor for the remainder of the term.[73]The offices of governor and lieutenant governor are elected on the sameticket.[74]The Governor of Utah was formerly limited to serving three terms, but all term limit laws were repealed by the Utah Legislature in 2003; Utah is one of the few states where gubernatorial term limits are not determined by the constitution.[75]
