| Description |
President Rutledge resigned due to his refusal to approve changes in the state constitution and was succeeded by Rawlins Lowndes, who was vice president. He was elected by the SC General Assembly.
President Lowndes approved the changes to the state constitution that changed the title of South Carolina's chief executive's office from president to governor, although he was called "president" until the end of his term.
