He/she has the power to grant royal assent and is styled ''His Excellency''. In recent times the Governor has either been a retired diplomat or senior military officer. No Manx-born person has ever been appointed Lieutenant Governor, although Manx-born First Deemsters (''ex officio'' Deputy Governors) have taken on the role during the transition of power between Governors, and during periods when the Lieutenant Governor is off-Island. The official residence of the Governor is Government House, Governor's Road, Onchan. Previously the Lieutenant Governor wielded all judicial, fiscal and executive power and c. 1900 had more power over his realms than any other Commonwealth leader. However, he lost his role as Head of the Judiciary in 1921,〔(Court Information ) Isle of Man Government〕 as Head of Government in 1961,〔(Isle of Man Constitution Act 1961 )〕 as President of the Legislative Council in 1980 and finally as President of Tynwald in 1990.〔 Today the role of Lieutenant Governor is essentially ceremonial, although certain powers under Isle of Man legislation do still fall to the Governor or Governor-in-Council (a decision on the advice, and with the approval of, the Council of Ministers). ==Proposed change to title== In October 2005 Tynwald sought to change the title of the Lieutenant Governor to Crown Commissioner.〔(Governor Title could be changed ) Isle of Man Today, 25 October 2005〕 This proposal was sent to the British Department of Constitutional Affairs for submission to the Lord of Mann Elizabeth II for approval. However, in April 2006, after much public disapproval, Tynwald rejected their own proposal and withdrew their request for royal assent. Thus the Lieutenant Governor will remain as currently titled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
