The Governor is the chief executive officer of the State and the
Commander-in-Chief of its military forces. He is elected by popular
vote for a term of four years, his term of office beginning on the
fourth Wednesday of January following his election. No person may
serve as Governor for more than two consecutive terms. To be eligible
for the office of Governor, a person must be at least thirty years of
age and must have been for five years a resident and registered voter
of the State. He receives a salary of $25,000 per year. (Const. 1867,
Art. II, sees. 1, 3, 5).
The Governor must submit to each annual session of the General
Assembly a budget for the next ensuing fiscal year. He also makes
recommendations for the raising of the principal and interest of the
State's indebtedness. The Governor may also inform the General As-
sembly at any time of the condition of the State (II, 19; HI, 52(3) ).
Before a bill may become law the Governor must sign it, with the
single exception of the General Appropriation Act. However, any bill
which he vetoes may be passed without his signature by three-fifths of
the total number of members of each house of the General Assembly,
either at the current session or at the session next following. Or should
the Governor, while the Legislature is in session, fail to return any bill
with his objections within six days, the Act becomes law automatically
unless the adjournment of the General Assembly prevents the return
of the bill; then the bill fails. The Governor has the power to veto any
part of an appropriation bill, in the same manner as other bills, with-
out vetoing all (II, 17 as amended by Acts 1949, chap. 714).
The Governor is Commander-in-Chief of the military forces of the
State — i.e. the National Guard — except when such forces are called
into the national service. If the National Guard is thus called, he may
establish a State Guard.
