While like all officials in the United States,checks and balances are placed on the office of the governor,significant powers may include ceremonial head of state,executive,legislative,judicial,and military. As such,governors are responsible for implementing state laws and overseeing the operation of the state executive branch. As state leaders,governors advance and pursue new and revised policies and programs using a variety of tools,among them executive orders,executive budgets,and legislative proposals and vetoes. Governors carry out their management and leadership responsibilities and objectives with the support and assistance of department and agency heads,many of whom they are empowered to appoint.
