Walid N. Hakim
What this job does: Runs the state's executive branch and signs or vetoes the bills the General Assembly passes. The governor can strike single items out of the state budget (a line-item veto); two-thirds of each chamber can override. The governor and lieutenant governor are elected together on one ticket. The lieutenant governor takes over if the governor leaves office or cannot serve. A term is four years, and a governor can serve no more than two terms in a row.
