In the US, state governors are chosen by popular election. The people choose governors.
Every state has a governor, so 50 States have 50 governors.
No.
Seven
There is no governor of the US. Governors are the leaders of the state and are not represented at national level.
50.
Too many.
There have been Spanish Governors, Mexican Governors, US Military Governors, US Territorial Governors and US State Governors, There have been Elected Governors, Appointed Governors, Temporary Governors, Cruel Governors, Corrupt Governors, Republican Governors, Democratic Governors, Famous Governors and Infamous Governors, Good and Bad Governors. The severed head of at least one Governor was once displayed in the Plaza in front of the Palace of the Governors. The long list covering 400 years of leadership in what is now the State of New Mexico begins with Don Juan de Onate and ends in 2010 with Bill Richardson and to date includes no women. Keep in mind as you fill in the gap between these two that for 12 years during the Pueblo Revolt, the office existed but was held by people who never set foot in New Mexico.
No, governors are elected by the people of a state. Federal judges are appointed by the President and confirmed by Congress.
All US Presidents "serve" and "represent" every US State. The US President is is charge of the nation, not individual states, except collectively as "The United States of America". Every US State has a State Governor, the head of that individual State. The US has 50 States, hence, 50 governors.
Governors State University was created in 1969.
Governors State University's motto is 'Success by Degrees'.
