Governor (Roscamistan)

A Governor is the head of the executive of a provincial government in Roscamistan, the provinces being the highest sub-division in the federation. Governors are elected by citizens of the provinces. Governors are also heads of their provincial militias.

History

In September 2021, the title of Administrative Officer was created. Mervustan became the first province to receive one, who would supervise the activities in the province. Other provinces gained administrative officers, as more provincial administration was created. In March 2022, the titles were changed to Governor, beginning the modern history of the provincial administrations.

On 25 April 2022, the Lieutenant Governors Act was promulgated by the Vice President, Thomas Jacobs in the name of President Doros Patusky, creating the office of Lieutenant Governor and the option to have presidential system devolution in a province as opposed to the parliamentary system in use for the devolved governments. The Provinces of Mervustan and Greater Roscam immediately became provinces where the possibility of presidential devolution was proposed, with the idea of a referendum given to Mervustan.

Duties

Governors are invested with a set of executive, military and legislative powers. Governors are responsible for the appointment and maintenance of the Executive Council, the administrative authority of their province. They also are responsible for signing or vetoing laws passed by their Legislative Assembly.

Governors are also heads of the militias of their provinces.

Election

The elections for Governors are done by first past the post. In all provinces, a Lieutenant Governor is elected alongside the Governor. Governor terms are 3 months long.
