Governor and Senator are both parts of the legislative body. A governor is the head of a particular state, while the senator is a person who is elected as a member of the senate. They are representative of a state in the senate.

Each state has two or more senators in the house of Representatives, while each state has one Governor. The Governor is voted for and is responsible for each citizen on a state level. The Governor also acts on a state level. S

Similar to the President, they are allowed to pardon criminals, sign and pass veto bills, and can also appoint people to a certain position at the state level. The principal duty of a senator is to represent the needs and wants of the citizens of his state on the national level.

The governor is known for staying in the capital city of the state and making decisions for the state. A US senator will represent the state, but it will make laws in Washington D.C. where he or she lives and represent the ideas of the people of their state. If anything goes wrong in the state, then the governor takes care of it. Both of these people are elected officials where people from their state vote them into their office.
