==Governors==
{{For|the period before independence|List of colonial governors of New York}}
New York was one of the original [[Thirteen Colonies]] on the east coast of North America, and was admitted as a state on July 26, 1788. Prior to declaring its independence, New York was a [[Province of New York|colony]] of the [[Kingdom of Great Britain]], which it in turn obtained from the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] as the colony of [[New Netherland]]; see the [[list of colonial governors of New York|list of colonial governors]] and the [[Director of New Netherland|list of directors-general of New Netherland]] for the pre-statehood period.

The office of the governor was established by the first [[Constitution of New York|New York Constitution]] in 1777. The governor originally served for a term of three years,<ref>1777 New York Constitution, article XVIII.</ref> though the constitution did not specify when the term began. A 1787 law set the start of the term at July 1.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Governors of New York |url=http://www.dos.state.ny.us/kidsroom/nysfacts/nysgovs.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080321190055/http://www.dos.state.ny.us/kidsroom/nysfacts/nysgovs.html |archive-date=March 21, 2008 |access-date=March 28, 2008 |publisher=New York Department of State}}</ref> The [[New York Constitution|New York State Constitutional Convention]] of 1821 amended the state constitution, reducing the term of office to two years,<ref>1821 New York Constitution article III, § 1.</ref> moving the election to November,<ref>1821 New York Constitution article I, § 15.</ref> and moving the beginning and the end of the term to coincide with the calendar year.<ref>1821 New York Constitution article I, § 16.</ref> An 1874 amendment extended the term of office back to three years,<ref>{{Cite encyclopedia |year=1883 |title=New York |encyclopedia=Cyclopædia of Political Science, Political Economy, and the Political History of the United States |publisher=Melbert B.

The Constitution has provided since 1777 for the election of a [[Lieutenant Governor of New York|lieutenant governor of New York]], who is ''[[Ex officio member|ex officio]]'' President of the Senate, to the same term (keeping the same term lengths as the governor throughout all the constitutional revisions). Originally, in the event of the death, resignation or [[Impeachment in the United States|impeachment]] of the governor, the lieutenant governor would become acting governor until the end of the yearly legislative term, the office being filled in a special election, if there was a remainder of the term.<ref>1777 New York Constitution, article X.</ref> Since the 1821 Constitution, the lieutenant governor explicitly becomes governor upon such vacancy in the office and serves for the entire remainder of the term.<ref>New York Constitution, article IV § 5.</ref> Should the office of lieutenant governor become vacant, the [[president pro tempore|president ''pro tempore'']] of the State Senate{{efn|The state constitutions refer to this position as the "temporary president of the senate".}} performs all the duties of the lieutenant governor until the vacancy is filled either at the next gubernatorial election or by appointment.{{efn|On September 22, 2009, the [[New York Court of Appeals]] upheld the right of the governor to appoint a lieutenant governor to fill the vacancy.}} Likewise, should both offices become vacant at the same time, the president ''pro tempore'' acts as governor, with the office of lieutenant governor remaining vacant. Should the presidency ''pro tempore'' be vacant too, or the incumbent unable to fulfill the duties, the Speaker of the State Assembly is next in the line of succession.<ref>New York Constitution, article IV § 6.</ref> The lieutenant governor is elected on the same [[ticket (election)|ticket]] as the governor, since the [[1954 New York state election|1954 election]] with a single joint vote cast for both offices, but is nominated separately.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Executive Branch of the Several States |url=http://www.thegreenpapers.com/slg/executive.phtml |access-date=March 28, 2008 |publisher=The Green Papers}}</ref>
