General Note
Under the Constitutions of 1865 and 1868, Florida had an elected Lieutenant Governor who served as presiding officer of the Senate. This place was abolished with the adoption of the Constitution of 1885. The office was reestablished on January 7, 1969, but not as a Senate presiding officer.
Articles of impeachment were brought against Lieutenant Governor Tom Adams, with a House committee accusing him of "misconduct and misdemeanor" through the improper use of state employees under his jurisdiction. On May 17, 1973, the House voted 61 to 55 on articles, the resolution of impeachment failing of the constitutional two-thirds vote of the members present.
