What does the
Governor do?

The Governor is the “Chief Magistrate” of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Legislature, and is therefor the responsible officer for all actions of the Organization, especially the Executive Branch.

 

The Governor’s primary responsibilities are overseeing the actions of all officers of the Executive Branch, planning each regular and special session, and planning all meetings of the Steering Committee and the Board of Directors.

 

Similarly to the actual Governor, our Governor also signs or vetoes all legislation, may issue executive orders, and gives the annual “State of the State” address at the beginning of each regular session.
