Governor and Lieutenant Governor

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. source: scstatehouse.gov
