Lieutenant Governor

A Lieutenant Governor is an official who acts as the second-in-command in a state or country, stepping in to perform the duties of the Governor if they are unavailable due to absence, illness, or other reasons. They often preside over the state senate, support the Governor's agenda, and may have specific responsibilities defined by law. Their role varies depending on the jurisdiction, but essentially, they serve as a key backup and collaborator in government leadership, ensuring continuity of governance and representing the state or country when needed.
