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 third 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, 21).
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 Gen-
eral Assembly at any time of the condition of the State (II. 19; III, 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, without veto-
ing all (II, 17 as amended by Acts 1949, chap. 714).
