The chief of state and the chief executive are not necessarily the same thing, although these roles can overlap in some political systems. The chief of state typically represents the nation symbolically and may have ceremonial duties, while the chief executive is responsible for the administration of government and executing laws. In some countries, such as the United States, the president serves as both the chief of state and chief executive, but in others, these roles may be separate.
In the US, the chief executive of a state government is the governor.
