Governor of South Carolina
The Governor of the State of South Carolina is the head of state for the State of South Carolina. Under the South Carolina Constitution, the Governor is also the head of government, serving as the chief executive of the South Carolina executive branch. The Governor is the ''ex officio'' Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard when not called into Federal use. The Governor's responsibilities include making yearly "State of the State" addresses to the South Carolina General Assembly, submitting an executive budget and ensuring that state laws are enforced
The 116th and current Governor of South Carolina is Nikki Haley, who is in her second term after being reelected in 2014. Haley defeated Democratic candidate Vincent Sheheen in the November 2010 midterm elections, and again in the November 2014 midterm elections. Haley is the first female and first minority governor in the state's history.
==Requirements to hold office==
There are three legal requirements set forth in Section 2 of Article IV of the South Carolina Constitution. (1) Be at least 30 years of age. (2) Citizen of the United States and a resident of South Carolina for 5 years preceding the day of election.〔(The South Carolina Governance Project )〕〔(South Carolina Constitution Article IV )〕 The final requirement, (3) "No person shall be eligible to the office of Governor who denies the existence of the Supreme Being," was overturned in the 1961 Supreme Court decision ''Torcaso v. Watkins'', which reaffirmed that religious tests for public offices violated the United States Constitution. This requirement, however, has still not been removed from the Constitution of South Carolina.〔Torcaso v. Watkins〕
