Question
the structure of state government
state executive branches
each state in the united states has its own government
they operate like microcosms of the federal government-
similar in structure, but smaller and focused on state
matters.
- states cannot override the federal government.
- like the federal government, each state derives power
from its own constitution.
- states possess their own three branches of
government: the executive, legislative, and judicial
branches, though these may have different official
names than their federal counterparts
(note: the names of the branches and offices may further
vary from state to state, though filling the same roles.)
what power do most state governors have
that the president of the united states
does not?
the line - item veto
the gubernatorial pardon
the power to issue executive orders
The U.S. president does not have the line-item veto (a 1996 Supreme Court ruling struck down the federal line-item veto), while most U.S. state governors hold this power to reject specific parts of spending bills without vetoing the entire bill. The president can issue executive orders and grant pardons, matching the other two options which are powers shared with governors.
