The office of Lieutenant Governor was created by the North Carolina Constitution of 1868 . Like the Vice-President Of The United States , the lieutenant governor's primary responsibility is to preside over the North Carolina Senate ; until 1970 , this was the lieutenant governor's only major responsibility, and the position was only part-time. The position is now a full-time job. The Lieutenant Governor is also the first in line to succeed the Governor Of North Carolina , should that office become vacant. This has occurred five times in the history of the office; four of the first six lieutenant governors were promoted upon the death, impeachment, or resignation of the sitting governor. By virtue of his or her office, the lieutenant governor is a member of the North Carolina Council Of State , the North Carolina Board Of Education , the North Carolina Capitol Planning Commission , and the North Carolina Board of Community Colleges . The lieutenant governor is elected on a separate ballot from the governor; therefore, it is theoretically possible that the governor and lieutenant governor may be of different political party affiliations. Most recently, this was the case from 1985 to 1989. LIST OF LIEUTENANT GOVERNORS # Tod R. Caldwell , 1868 - 1870 1 # Curtis H. Brogden , 1873 - 1874 1 # Thomas J. Jarvis , 1877 - 1879 1 # James L.
