Robert Franklin Armfield
Robert Franklin Armfield was (3rd) Lieutenant Governor in the Time of 1875–1876, according to why is he not named and counted in here? So Mark Robinson would be the 36th one. In german wikipedia he is counted so we have now 36 Lieutenant Governor. I wont do such a big improvement in a foreign language. So please change it, if that fact is correct.

Issues with terms of office
I was reading up on the North Carolina Constitution recently. Article III, Section 2, Subsection 1, states; “Their term of office shall be four years and shall commence on the first day of January next after their election and continue until their successors are elected and qualified” which refers to the terms of both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. This has been in the NC Constitution since 1971 so all governors and lt. governors after 1971 have started their terms on January 1st, therefore we have been using the governors public inauguration dates as their term starts which are incorrect, furthermore stands with the council of state.

 * In the 2013 Oxford Commentary series book The North Carolina State Constitution (second ed.), which is an extensive annotation of the state constitution (one of the coauthors is Justice Paul Newby), actually points out that while the term does officially begin then, an officer's term does not start until they've been officially sworn-in (and their predecessor continues to serve until that point; pages of interest are 116, 165, 167, 168). This is why Gov. Roy Copper had a nonpublic swearing-in ceremony on early in the morning on January 1, 2017, even though his inaugural ceremony was a few days later; he could have not legally exercised any duties of the office otherwise. We have no recorded instance of Robinson swearing-in on January 1, 2021. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:44, 27 August 2022 (UTC)
