The governor of Nevada is the head of government of the U.S. state of Nevada.^[2] The governor is the head of the executive branch of the Nevada state government. The governor is also the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces.^[3] The governor has a duty to enforce state laws^[4] and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Nevada Legislature,^[5] to convene the legislature at any time,^[6] as well as, except in cases of treason or impeachment, to grant pardons and reprieves.^[7]
