The Office of Governor• The Governor is the leader of the Executive Branch
in any state government.• In most states, the governor must be a resident of a
state, 30 years old, have a 2 term limit and serve 4 year terms.
• Florida is one of those states that have all these listed requirements.
The Chief Executive– Like a president, a governor
has many roles. The governor is:• Party Leader• Lead the Executive
Branch• Carrying out laws• Name people to fill state
offices• Find a replacement for
senators if needed• Write the annual budget
Other Roles of the Governor• Governors also deliver a “state of the state”
message to the legislature and the citizens to provide his goals for that year.
• Governors can send bills to the legislature and veto bills. Governors use a line-item veto to veto specific parts of a bill instead of the whole law.
• They can appoint judges and grant pardons and parole to criminals.

• If something happens to the governor or if they resign, often times, the person next in line is the lieutenant governor.
