  1. While some sources describe Weathers as interim commissioner between his appointment on September 14, 2004 and swearing in for a full term on January 10, 2007 after his first election victory, Section 46-3-40 of the South Carolina Code of Laws declares that any person the governor appoints to the vacant office is the next commissioner of agriculture.
