Which states have term limits on their governors? |
|
I know that Colorado does but I am not sure beyond that.

I think they can serve no more than 2 consecutive terms, but there's no limit on total terms served. I think.

2 4-year terms and you're gone. We'd probably still have Evan if he could've stayed Guv...

Sort of. No one governor can serve more than two consecutive terms, though they can run again after sitting one out. 'Ol Liver Lips' Rhodes, a crony-Republican extraordinaire, served at least three terms back in the sixties and seventies, sitting out at least one term of another governor.
Most of Ohio's governors over the past thirty years have been Republicans, but they have to let a Democrat win once in a while -- somebody has to be pilloried for raising taxes every so often, or the state will run aground even worse than it already has.
