In all, the governor is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the state government, implementing policies and programs, and ensuring that the state is effectively governed in accordance with the law. In addition to these duties and powers, the governor also has the power to pardon individuals who have been convicted of crimes. This power can be used to commute a sentence, reduce a sentence, or grant a full pardon. In practice, this has generally been done in cases that lack substantial evidence, however, what constitutes substantial evidence is not very clear. | In all, the governor is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the state government, implementing policies and programs, and ensuring that the state is effectively governed in accordance with the law.

== | == Appointments == | ||
Per the Constitution of Milan, the governor has the authority to nominate individuals to fill vacancies in key positions throughout the state government. This includes appointments to judgeships, which are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the state's legal system, as well as to executive branch officials, who are responsible for implementing the governor's policies and overseeing the daily operations of state agencies, though in practice, these individuals have been elected. | |||
== | In addition, the governor also has the power to appoint members of certain boards and commissions, which are responsible for regulating various industries and professions within the state. These boards and commissions play an important role in protecting public health and safety, promoting economic growth, and ensuring that businesses and individuals are held accountable for their actions. The governor's power of appointment is a key tool for shaping the direction of state government and ensuring that it operates effectively and efficiently to meet the needs of the people of Milan. | ||

The Constitution of Milan has provided since 1791 for the election of a lieutenant governor of Milan, who also acts as president of the State Senate, to the same term (keeping the same term lengths as the governor throughout all the constitutional revisions), though the office was not officially inaugurated until 1805. Originally, in the event of the death, resignation, or impeachment of the governor, or absence from the state, the lieutenant governor would take on the governor's duties and powers. Since the 1941 constitution, the lieutenant governor explicitly becomes governor upon such vacancy in the office. | |||
Should the office of lieutenant governor become vacant, the Orator Princeps of the Chamber of Deputies performs the duties of a lieutenant governor until the governor can take back the duties of the office, or the next election; likewise, should both offices become vacant, the Orator Princeps acts as governor, with the office of lieutenant governor remaining vacant. Although no provision exists in the constitution for it, precedent set in 2000 allows the governor to appoint a lieutenant governor should a vacancy occur. Should the Orator Princeps be unable to fulfill the duties, the Orator Pro Tempore of the State Senate is next in the line of succession. The lieutenant governor is elected on a different ticket as the governor, but they are nominated together. | |||
