What the Tennessee governor does
Tennessee's governor is the state's chief executive, signs or vetoes legislation, proposes and administers the state budget, appoints executive officials, and directs executive agencies.
Shared authority: The governor shares authority with the General Assembly, independently administered offices, courts, local governments, and the federal government. An event during an administration is not automatically the governor's personal action.
How FactVote presents the public record: FactVote includes only official orders, vetoes, appointments, signed actions, direct statements, or other records explicitly attributed to the governor.
