The chief executive for most states, including Florida, is known as the Governor, most analogous to the federal position of which of the selections listed below? Select one:

A. Senate Majority leader

B. Speaker of the House of Representatives

C. President of the United States

D. President pro tempore of the Senate

Answer: C

The correct answer is C.

The Governor of a state is similar to the U. S. President but on a smaller scale.

They both lead the executive branch of the government, the Governor the state and the President the federal one.

A Governor's responsibilities vary from state to state depending on the constitution within that state.

Both the Governor and the President sign bills into laws and both are commanders-in-chiefs, the Governor of the state's National Guard and militia forces, the President of the Army and Navy of the United States.

In some states, the Governor has the veto power to block a legislative law. The same power lies in the hands of the U. S. President.

Both the Governor and the President are ceremonial heads of state and host dignitaries from other countries.
