Charles Weisenthal. One Charles Weisenthal (Ok, so he was German, but, he was in England) took out a patent for a needle to be used for mechanical sewing. Unfortunately, what sort of mechanical sewing we do not know for a description of the machine was not properly mentioned in the patent.
Lieutenant Governor (state executive office) In the United States, the office of lieutenant governor is the second-highest executive office in a state and is nominally subordinate to the governor. In the U.S., the main duty of the lieutenant governor is to act as governor should the governor be temporarily absent from the office.
In about 26 states, the lieutenant governor serves as the president of the Senate, and many of these duties are assumed by the president pro tem. President Pro Tem of the Senate The primary roles assigned to the president pro tem are to: 1  Preside over the Senate in the president's absence. 2  Exercise the powers and duties of the president in his or her absence. 3  Assume other duties as assigned by the president.
