Governor / Lt. Governor

The governor is both head of state and head of government for Kansas. Under the constitution, the governor elected to serve a four-year term. The governor presides over the executive branch, commands the militia of the state, and makes sure that the laws of the state are enforced and that the peace is preserved. The governor is the state’s chief representative and spokesperson to the other states within the United States, the Federal Government of the United States, and all foreign nations. The governor must sign all bills passed by the legislature in order for those bills to become law. Should he veto a bill, the legislature may override his veto with a two-thirds vote.
