Jennifer Granholm, who is in her second term
I believe her term is up in 2010.
The US politician's name is Jennifer Granholm, two-term governor of Michigan(January 1, 2003 - January 1, 2011).
Jennifer Granholm became the first female governor of Michigan, in 2003. She served two terms, which was all she was allowed to serve under Michigan law. In 2012, she has been working as a TV talk show host and serving as a political surrogate, speaking on behalf of Democratic candidates.
Jennifer M. Granholm (born February 5, 1959 in Vancouver, Canada) succeeded John Engler as the forty-seventh, and current, Governor of Michigan, serving since January 1, 2003, incluidng the whole of 2005.
The Lt. Governor serves a four year term coinciding with the term of the Governor.
The Governor of Michigan is Rick Snyder, serving the term from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2015.
The Lieutenant Governor takes over if the Governor cannot complete the term.
The Lieutenant Governor, if the Lieutnant Governor cannot for some reason then it would be the Pro Tempore of the Senate, and if he/she cannot, then the Speaker of the House would take over.
The Lieutenant Governor presides over the State Senate with a few exceptions.
It depends on the state. Most states have a Lieutenant Governor, who remains prepared to take over as Governor in the event that the Governor cannot or will not complete his/her term, the same way the Vice President remains prepared to take over as President.
In Ohio, the governor's term is four years. A governor may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms, but there is no limit on the total number of terms a person can serve over their lifetime. The governor is elected by popular vote.
