State Governors
Governors are nearly like a president in regards to the fact that they are the highest government official in a certain area. However the president is in charge of a country, and a governor is in charge of a state.
Abraham Lincoln
The President, Vice-President, and the Cabinet agencies are part of the federal Executive Branch. Governors and mayors are part of the state Executive Branch.
President Lincoln's role as head of state was to carry out the executive functions outlined in the constitution for the Executive. Also, he had to deal with the Civil War, and make efforts to prevent the secession of the South.
In the US, state governors are chosen by popular election. The people choose governors.
