In order to be elected governor, any gubernatorial candidate is required to obtain a statewide plurality of votes cast in their election. Given the dominance of the two-party system in Oklahoma (between the Democrats and the Republicans), the plurality is often a majority as well. However, in case the event that two or more candidates have an equal number of votes, the state legislature, by joint ballot, elects one of those candidates governor.

The constitution names the governor the state's chief magistrate and vested in him the supreme executive power. As a consequence, the governor is the preeminent figure in Oklahoma politics. Though he or she shares power with many other executive officers, in the event of a vacancy anywhere in the executive branch, he or she appoints their successor. The governor appoints the heads of state departments and agencies as well as the members of most state commissioners and boards. However, these appointments do require Senate approval. Some serve at his or her pleasure while others serve fixed terms.

How important of a role did the ideas from ancient Greek civilizations play in the development of the American political process

padilas [110]

The American Constitution was heavily based on the idea of democracy and a perfect world where people would have free speech and rights. The idea of democracy was derived from the earliest form of democracy, (direct) Roman democracy. As many people know, the Romans adopted a lot of Greek culture and ideas from taking over Ancient Greece in the times of the Roman Empire. This is what I think is how the American political process was formed from the basic standards of Greek civilizations.
