I’ve been reviewing me American History, and by my count over the last one hundred years seven Presidents of the United States were Governors. That is more then any other group. They are; Woodward Wilson, NJ, Teddy Roosevelt, NY, Calvin Coolidge, MA, Franklin Roosevelt, NY, Jimmy Carter, GA, Ronald Reagan, CA. George W. Bush, TX.
Only two presidents have come from the Senate, John Kennedy, and Warren Harding. However, Harding served as Lieutenant Governor of Ohio before being elected to the Senate. Richard Nixon was a Senator before becoming Vice President.
A governor is one of 50 chief executive officers in the country who get the experience considered necessary to run the over grown federal government. It’s clear that the American people believe a state governor is the most qualified to be chief executive office of this country.
