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.

Even more ironically, the executive branch duties of the Lieutenant Governor are almost non-existent, except in the case of the Governor's death, resignation, removal from office, or absence from the state.
