Well here are the duties of the Governor of Texas....
- Signing or vetoing bills passed by the Legislature.
- Serving as commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.
- Convening special sessions of the Legislature for specific purposes.
- Delivering a report on the condition of the state to the Legislature at the beginning of each regular session.
- Estimating of the amounts of money required to be raised by taxation.
- Accounting for all public monies received and paid out by him and recommending a budget for the next two years.
- Granting reprieves and commutations of punishment and pardons upon the recommendation of the Board of Pardons and Paroles and revoking conditional pardons.
- Declaring special elections to fill vacancies in certain elected offices. - Appointing qualified Texans to state offices that carry out the laws and direct the policies of state government. Some of these offices are filled by appointment only. Others are ordinarily elected by the people, but the governor must occasionally appoint individuals to fill vacancies. The governor also appoints Texans to a wide range of advisory bodies and task forces that assist him with specific issues.
Doesn't look to me like a job one can do while running for President.
As I said, Perry is currently free to cut his salary as governor. The governor, who spends most of his time campaigning for president earns about 150K.
Specifically, which of those has he failed to do? Please list, and with documentation or links. Otherwise, you have no point.
I understand the basic tasks of all Governors. Are you saying he’s not doing any particular ones? Is the Legislature in session? Did he miss a reprieve inquiry? C’mon man, details..
