Some states would not abide by all of the federal government laws that where set or make their own laws that interfered with ones that were made. The Public Administration Quarterly said “The constitutions provided for varying degrees of decentralization. Nome, however, were as decentralized as the national government under the Articles. In all states, there was an executive in some form and in New York, Massachusetts, and Hew Hampshire he was elected by the people at large. Other states, however, provided for an executive chosen by a legislature or legislatively appointed body. In most states, the executive was essentially part of the legislature.” The US Constitution divides power between the Federal government and state governments.

Thought the president has limited power over congress and judicial decision the president does till hold the power to veto laws passed by congress and can convene congress into special sessions and judicially the president can grant pardons and reprieves. the seemingly small amount of formal powers was purposefully dictated as such by the founders as they preferred a limited executive as it provided the citizens protection from an oppressive government and divided powers adding to the pluralist model. While the formal power of the president are directly written into the constitution informal and inherent expressed powers have arisen with the progression of society. While the constitution grants the president power as the Commander in Chief of the Army and the Navy the…

254). The governor in Texas has very little powers, especially when compared to governors in other states. The powers governors do have in Texas are an appointment power, a patronage power, the power to submit an executive budget, a message power, the power to veto legislation through the uses of a post-adjournment veto and a line-item veto, and the power to call special sessions. The governor may also be impeached. The lieutenant governor is essentially second in command, filling in for the governor when they are away, or if the office opens up for reasons such as resignation or impeachment. The lieutenant governor also leads the Senate and has great power and influence over the legislative process. The attorney general is the lawyer for the state and handles civil cases.

The land commissioner manages the majority of land in Texas, is in charge of the Veterans’ Land Program, and gives rights to land for various purposes. The agricultural commissioner carries…
