"Fool, I lived there for 20 years. I don't need some liberal opinion on the matter." Frankly, I am dubious about that. If you were even semi-conscious during that time, you'd know differently. Because it isn't just my opinion, it is a fact. Oh, right. Facts are just reality's opinions. And we all know that reality has a liberal bias... In politics, Governor of Texas is the title given to the chief executive of the state of Texas. As is the trend in many Southern states, Louisiana excepted, the Governor's power is quite limited. When the office was created by the Texas Constitution of 1876, the authors dispersed much of the power traditionally given to the office of the governor to independently elected officials, creating what some refer to as a "plural executive." [1] With the exception of the Secretary of State, the remaining members of the Governor's cabinet are also elected by popular vote. In addition, because the Lieutenant Governor runs on a separate ticket, the Governor and Lieutenant Governor can be (and have been) from different political parties. en.wikipedia.org
