| | Governor of California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The governor can be impeached for "misconduct in office" by the State Assembly and removed by a 2/3 vote of the State Senate. | | | The governor also has full membership and voting powers to the Regents of the University of California, the governing board of the University of California system, along with other elected officials, and a majority of members on the Regents of the University of California are appointed by the governor. | | | This occasionally becomes significant, as the California Constitution provides that all the powers of the governor fall to the lieutenant governor whenever the governor is not in the State of California, with the lieutenant governor often signing or vetoing legislation, or making political appointments, whenever the governor leaves the state. |
