be appointed for a term of four years. Thereafter the members of the
Board shall be appointed for terms of four years each beginning from the
expiration of the respective terms of their predecessors, except an ap-
pointment to fill a vacancy shall be for the unexpired term. No person shall
be eligible to serve for or during more than two successive terms; provided,

rent term when this amendment takes effect constitutes the first of the two
successive terms with respect to eligibility for appointment. Members of the
State Board may be suspended or removed by the Governor at his pleasure.
