List of governors of North Carolina

The Governor of North Carolina has a duty to enforce state laws and to convene the legislature. The Governor may grant pardons except in cases of impeachment. For about 220 years the Governor had no power to veto bills passed by the North Carolina General Assembly, but a referendum in November 1996 altered the state's constitution, so that North Carolina ceased to be the only state whose governor lacked that power.
