Question

Use the following quote to answer the question. "The supreme executive power shall be vested in a governor, who shall be commander-in-chief of all military forces of the state not in active service of the United States. The governor shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, commission all officers of the state and counties, and transact all necessary business with the officers of government." The position described in the quote above compares closest to the national position of (3 points) U.S. representative U.S. president U.S. senator U.S. federal judge

Answer 1

The position described in the quote (governor) compares closest to the U.S. president. Governors are the chief executive officers of the fifty states and five commonwealths and territories. They are, in other words, the managers and leaders of the states, so they are comparable to the U.S. president, although on a smaller scale.
