Question

what are the power of governor in short?​

Answer 1

$\huge\textbf{Answer}$

⏩All 50 state governors have the power to veto whole legislative measures.

⏩In a large majority of states a bill will become law unless it is vetoed by the governor within a specified number of days, which vary among states.

⏩In a smaller number of states, bills will die (pocket veto) unless they are formally signed by the governor, also within a specified number of days.

⏩Other types of vetoes available to the governors of some states include “line-item” (by which a governor can strike a general item from a piece of legislation), “reduction” (by which a governor can delete a budget item), and “amendatory” (by which a governor can revise legislation). Legislatures may override vetoes, usually by a supermajority vote.
