List of Governors of Connecticut

The Governor of Connecticut is the head of the executive branch of Connecticut's state government and the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws, and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Connecticut General Assembly and to convene the legislature.〔CT Const. art. IV〕 Unusual among U.S. governors, the Governor of Connecticut has no power to pardon.
There have been 68 governors of the state, serving 72 distinct spans in office. The longest terms in office were in the state's early years, when four governors were elected to nine or more one-year terms. The longest was that of the first governor, Jonathan Trumbull, who served over 14 years, but 7 of those as colonial governor; the longest-serving state governor — with no other position included in the term — was his son, Jonathan Trumbull, Jr., who served over 11 years. The shortest term was that of Hiram Bingham III, who served only one day before resigning to take an elected seat in the U.S. Senate. Lowell P. Weicker, Jr., is noted for a rare third party win in American politics, having been elected to a term in 1990 representing A Connecticut Party. The current governor is Dan Malloy, who took office on January 5, 2011.

:''For the period before independence, see the list of colonial governors of Connecticut.''
Connecticut was one of the original Thirteen Colonies and was admitted as a state on January 9, 1788.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Today in History: January 9 )〕 Before it declared its independence, Connecticut was a colony of the Kingdom of Great Britain. Like most early states, Connecticut had claims to western areas, but did not cede all of its claims during the formation of the country like the other states. It maintained its Western Reserve until 1800, at which time it was reassigned to the Northwest Territory.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Research Guide to Connecticut's "Western Lands" or "Western Reserve" )
The current Constitution of Connecticut, ratified in 1965, calls for a four-year term for the governor,〔CT Const. art. IV, § 1〕 commencing on the Wednesday after the first Monday in the January following an election.〔CT Const. art. IV, § 2〕 The previous constitution of 1818 originally had only a one-year term for governor; this was increased to two years in 1875,〔1818 Const. amendment XVI〕 and four years in 1948.〔1818 Const. amendment XLV〕 The 1875 amendment also set the start date of the term to its current date; before then, it was the first Wednesday in the May following an election.〔1818 Const. art. IV § 1〕 The constitution provides for the election of a lieutenant governor for the same term as the governor. The two offices are elected on the same ticket; this provision was added in 1962.〔1818 Const. new amendment VII〕 In the event of a vacancy in the office of governor, the lieutenant governor becomes governor.〔CT Const. art. IV § 19〕 Before the adoption of the 1965 constitution, the lieutenant governor only acted as governor.〔1818 Const. art. IV § 14〕 There is no limit of any kind on the number of terms one may serve.
Connecticut did not create a state constitution for itself until several decades after it became a state; until 1818, the state operated under the provisions of its colonial charter. The charter called for the election of a governor every year, but not more than once every two years, with the term commencing on the second Thursday in May.〔1662 Charter〕
