Why do Liberals prefer their Chief Executive to be King is a better question?
Why do I ONLY see Righties using terms like "King", "Messiah", "Annointed One" around here?

Well. aside from calling the legislature in for special sessions and the veto power, he does get to fill vacancies on the boards of regents for the various state institutions of higher education. If a district judge, attorney, or county judge leaves office in the middle of a term he gets to appoint a replacement until the next election. Other than that, he is mostly an unnecessary figurehead. Any other power he has is unofficial, based on political connections and force of personality.That's one of the things the libs bashed Bush over - that the gov ofTexas has no real power and its mostly ceremonial.
