The Governor LITERACY · 4TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. A governor is a state's chief executive, elected directly by the state's voters, usually for a four-year term. The office is the state equivalent of the presidency: the governor signs or vetoes bills passed by the state legislature, proposes the state budget, appoints heads of state agencies and often judges, and commands the state's National Guard when it is not called into federal service. Most governors also have a line-item veto, allowing them to strike individual spending items from a bill, a power the president does not have. Governors can grant pardons and commute sentences for state crimes. Because states run schools, roads, and public health, a governor's decisions often affect daily life more directly than a president's. Questions: 1 Name three powers a governor holds. 2 What is a line-item veto, and who lacks it? 3 Why can a governor affect daily life more than a president? www.littleactivity.com 4th Grade · Literacy
