Qualifications
Do you want to become a Governor or Lt. Governor when you are older? Here is how you do it!
 |
| Governor Nathan Deal (2011-)

| Lt. Governor Casey Cagle (2007-) |
The requirements for both of the positions are the same. You must be a US Citizen for at least 15 years, a Georgia citizen for at least 6 years, and must be at least 30 years of age. A governor has a four year term and the maximum is two terms. A Lt. governor also has a four year term, but they have unlimited terms. This means that you can be the lt. governor for a long time!
Duties
The governor has many duties. Some of them are:
- Enforce laws
- Oversee the executive branch
- Pass or veto bills
- Serve as Head of State for the state of Georgia
- Give "State of the State" Address
The lt. governor oversees the Senate and fulfills the duties of governor whenever he is not able to do so.
