The government of California is the governmental structure of the state of California as established by the California Constitution. It is composed of three branches: the executive, consisting of the Governor of California and the other constitutionally elected and appointed officers and offices; the legislative, consisting of the California State Legislature, which includes the Assembly and the Senate; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court of California and lower courts. There is also local government, consisting of counties, cities, special districts, and school districts, as well as government entities and offices that operate independently on a constitutional, statutory, or common law basis. The state also allows direct participation of the electorate by initiative, referendum, recall and ratification. ==Executive branch== (詳細はJerry Brown (D) Governor File:Gavin Newsom Lieutenant Gov.jpg|Gavin Newsom (D) Lieutenant Governor File:Kamala Harris Official Attorney General Photo.jpg|Kamala Harris (D) Attorney General File:California Secretary of State Alex Padilla.jpg|Alex Padilla (D) Secretary of State File:California_State_Controller_Betty_Yee.jpg|Betty Yee (D) State Controller File:California State Controller John Chiang.jpg|John Chiang (D) State Treasurer File:California Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones.png|Dave Jones (D) Insurance Commissioner File:California_State_Superintendent_of_Public_Instruction_Tom_Torlakson.jpg|Tom Torlakson (D) State Superintendent of Public Instruction All offices are elected separately to concurrent four-year terms, and each officer may be elected to an office a maximum of two times.〔Constitution of California, article 5, section 2〕 The Governor has the powers and responsibilities to: sign or veto laws passed by the Legislature, including a line item veto; appoint judges, subject to ratification by the electorate; propose a state budget; give the annual State of the State address; command the state militia; and grant pardons for any crime, except cases involving impeachment by the Legislature.
