Governor

the Texas governor had very little power at his disposal compared to other state governors, but that has changed in recent times. Now, when ranked amongst the other fifty states, Texas stands about midpoint of gubernatorial powers. As of right now, the governor has roughly about seven roles, consisting of five formal roles and two informal roles but there are many limitations and obstacles that are present. Unfortunately, not many Texans are aware of the limitations imposed on the governor and…

States but if he wants to legalize something or make new regulation, it is very difficult to do at a federal level, but may be easier to do at a state or local level. For example, if the president wanted to legalize marijuana, it is much easier for a Governor to do so for a single state than it is for the president to get the entire congress to agree upon…

In reinforcing the claim that Simcoe was indeed forward thinking, a look at his latter governing position in northern Canada provides much insight. In his journal he writes, “The Governor is very anxious to oblige and please the Indians; his only son, a child of four years old, is dressed as an indian, and called Tioga, which name has been given by the Mohawks. This harmless farce may be of use in the intercourse with the Indians.” While the Americans typically destroyed relations with the…

position of governor is usually regarded as the most powerful executive position a state can have, a debate has risen between the gubernatorial authority of Texas’s governor and lieutenant governor. This can be attributed to the strict nature of the Texas Constitution of 1876 as a reaction to Reconstruction and the overpowering era of Edmund J. Davis as a governor. Consequently, the governor’s formal powers have been restricted, and relative to most other states, the lieutenant governor of Texas…

In the state of Texas, the state’s constitution is what dictates the powers that the governor has. However, the Texas Constitution that is currently in place now, was created to limit the powers of the governor. Texas wanted to avoid having governors with too much power, as they usually had prior to the 1876 constitution (Champagne and Harpham 215). Due to this, the governor now has strict rules regarding how he or she is allowed to control the people. As well as who they can appoint to an…

I have a friend from Southern California, and she told me she did not even know we were in a drought. When she said that I was shocked, I thought how could she possibly not know? After reading the chapter China Town, in the book Cadillac Dessert by Marc Reisner, I finally got my answer. How could she have known there was a drought when almost all the water in California gets pumped down to the heavily populated desert area. The chapter begins with some background. The author states that…

Brownback has been re elected in 2014 for his second term as Governor in Kansas. Brownback only won the re election by four points in 2014 with his “Real-live experiments” policies. During a wichita state basketball Game Brownback was booed during half time by the crowd. This is very hard to do to get one of your state colleges to boo a Governor at halftime on national tv. Governor Brownback has been our Governor of Kansas for too long and should not be re elected because his terrible money…
