As the second highest elected official in the state and the President of the Senate, the Lieutenant Governor presides over debate in the Senate chamber and works with advocates to introduce legislation. In the event that the Governor is incapacitated, the Lieutenant Governor exercises those executive powers until either the Governor's recovery or the expiration of the gubernatorial term.
