List of Governors of Wisconsin
The Governor of Wisconsin is the head of the executive branch of Wisconsin's state government 〔Wisconsin Constitution article V, § 1〕 and the commander-in-chief of the state's army and air forces.〔Wisconsin Constitution article V, § 4〕 The governor has a duty to enforce state laws,〔 and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Wisconsin Legislature,〔Wisconsin Constitution article V, § 10〕 to convene the legislature,〔 and to grant pardons, except in cases of treason and impeachment.〔Wisconsin Constitution article V, § 6〕
Forty-four individuals have held the office of governor of Wisconsin since the state's admission to the Union in 1848, one of whom—Philip La Follette—served non-consecutive terms. Nelson Dewey, the first governor, took office on June 7, 1848. The longest-serving governor was Tommy Thompson, who took office on January 5, 1987 and resigned on February 1, 2001, a total of 14 years and 28 days. Arthur MacArthur, Sr. had the shortest term: he was governor for a total of just 5 days—from March 21, 1856 to March 25, 1856.〔 The current governor is Scott Walker, who took office on January 3, 2011 and survived a recall election on June 5, 2012.〔
==Governors==
Initially after the American Revolution, parts of the area now known as Wisconsin were claimed by Virginia, Massachusetts and Connecticut; however, Virginia ceded its claim in 1784, Massachusetts in 1785 and Connecticut in 1786. On July 13, 1787, the Northwest Territory, including the area now called Wisconsin, was formed; Wisconsin remained part of the territory until 1800. The territorial governor during this period was Arthur St. Clair.〔
〕 As parts of the Northwest Territory were admitted to the Union as states, Wisconsin became part of first the Indiana Territory (1800–1809), then the Illinois Territory (1809–1818), and then the Michigan Territory (1818–1836);〔 see the lists of governors of Indiana, of Illinois, and of Michigan for these periods.
