§ 8556 Governor'S Definition And Authority

• •The word 'Governor' in this law means the main Governor of California.
• •If the Governor can't do their job, someone else takes over their powers and duties.
• •This rule is based on a part of California's big rulebook (Constitution).

Imagine the Governor gets very sick and can't work for a while.

In this case, someone else (like the Lieutenant Governor) would step in and do the Governor's job until they get better. This is allowed because of the rules in California's Constitution.
