The governer's powers are established by Article 5 of the Arizona Constitution. He is elected for four year terms, but may not serve more than two consecutive terms (part of a term counts as a full term). He must be at least 25 years old, have been a US citizen for ten years and an Arizona citizen for five years. He has a line-item veto on money appropriations, but otherwise the veto power and procedure is the same as for the president of the United States. (However he can not veto emergency measures or bills that were voted for by the people in a referendum.) In the event of a vacancy in the office, the Arizona secretary of state, if elected, succeeds to the office (otherwise the next elected state officer succeeds). If impeached the governer is suspended, and the next elected officer in the line of succession becomes acting governer. The Arizona Constitution is the governing document and framework for the State of Arizona. ...
