	Lieutenant Governor of Texas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lieutenant Governor of Texas is the second-highest executive office in the government of Texas, a state in the United States of America.
		The Lieutenant Governor is elected separately from the Governor, rather than on the same ticket; it is therefore possible for the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to be from different political parties (which was the case during Governor George W. Bush's first term).
		Under the provisions of the Texas constitution, the Lieutenant Governor is President of the Texas Senate.

		The salary, as set by the constitution, is the same as that of a state senator when the lieutenant governor serves as the presiding officer of the Senate, and the same as the governor's when he assumes the governor's duties.
		A lieutenant governor must be at least thirty years old, a United States citizen, and a Texas resident for five years prior to the election.
		The administrative duties of the lieutenant governor are to exercise the powers of the governor's office in case of the governor's death, resignation, removal from office, or absence from the state.
