Question

The president is the leader of the executive branch of the federal government. What is the analogous position in a state government

Answer 1

The governor is the analogous position in a state government

Answer 2

Answer:

The president is the leader of the executive branch of the federal government, while the governor is the leader of the executive branch in the state government.

Explanation:

In every state of the United States of America, the governor is the state equivalent of the president at the federal level; however, the governors are not subordinate to the president. American governors, whose offices are governed by the constitution of each state, exercise the highest executive power in the state's jurisdiction, are directly elected and usually have a number of special powers. They include, among others, the supreme commander of the state's National Guard (when not called for federal service), as well as granting mercy and approving death sentences in the states that apply the death penalty.
