| | Governor of California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The California Constitution provides that all the powers of the governor fall to the lieutenant governor whenever the governor is unable to execute the office, including when the governor is not in the State of California; the lieutenant governor often signs or vetoes legislation and makes political appointments whenever the governor leaves the state. | | | Governors are elected by the majority vote of those voters voting within the state during an election for the office, and serve terms of four years when they prevail, with a limit of two terms. | | | The office of Governor of California was created in 1850, after California became a formal state in the American union. |

| | The Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee is the Speaker of the Tennessee State Senate and first in line in the succession to the office of Governor of Tennessee in the event of the death, resignation, or removal from office through impeachment and conviction of the Governor. | | | However, Wilder's personal relationship with several long-time Republicans makes the most likely scenario seem to be that he will be reelected Lieutenant Governor in January 2005. | | | Under the Tennessee Constitution, in the event of succession the Speaker does not become " Acting Governor " or "Interim Governor" but Governor in the fullest sense of the word, much as the Vice President of the United States becomes President upon the death or resignation of the President. |
