Answer:
The executive of a state government is called the Governor. The position of governor is not the same in every state. The number of years that a governor is elected to server - called a term - may differ from state to state. The governor's job within a state government is similar to the President's job within the federal government. However, the state laws that a governor carries out are different from the federal laws that the President carries out. The Constitution says that certain issues are covered by federal, not state, laws. All other issues are covered by state laws. This system is known as federalism. Federalism forces states and the federal government to share power on many issues.
