Who is most powerful governor and weakest governor?
Most powerful governor (in terms of total power, considering party control, tenure, veto power, appointments, budget, and a few others) in America is Massachusetts.The weakest, on the same terms, is the governor of Vermont.----------------The previous answer:Gov of Texas most powerfulGov of California is the weakestWrong on both counts: Actually, Texas has one of the weakest governors -- usually ranking second to last. California is somewhere in the middle, but probably has the most recognizable governor.addition:The Texas governor's office was severely restricted after a governor almost took full control of the state as a dictator in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The legislative body of Texas impeached the governor and amended the Texas constitution transferring the majority of power to the legislating body. In return for this loss of power the governor of Texas has unlimited term limits.Funny fact:In Texas you do not have to be a registered voter to become the governor of the state. People cannot be a registered voter if they are a convicted felon or deemed by the state as being mentally insane. Technically a convicted felon or a mentally insane person can hold the office of governor.
