Q. 57 / 128American Government → System of Government
Who is the Governor of your state now?
OFFICIAL ANSWER
- Answers will vary. [District of Columbia residents should answer that D.C. does not have a Governor.]
Context
Governors serve terms of four years in most states (two years in Vermont and New Hampshire). They sign or veto state legislation, propose budgets, and command the state National Guard. The District of Columbia is a federal district, not a state, so it has a mayor instead of a governor—though D.C. residents do have a non-voting delegate in Congress.
