A Bill to amend the Constitution to exclude individuals who have served as county governor from eligibility for any elective office except the presidency within five years of leaving office, has been introduced in the Senate.

The Bill's sponsor, Nominated Senator Raphael Chimera, says that governors, as Executive authorities at the local level, hold responsibility for administrative and financial management of county affairs.
