 Secretary of State is one of only three state "constitutional officers" other than governor under the Tennessee Constitution; most other states have more.In contrast to this office, the other two, the State Treasurer and the Comptroller of the Treasury (a position similar to State Auditor in many other states), are elected by the joint convention to two-year terms.There are no constitutional limits on the number of terms to which a person can be elected to any of these offices.
