Charles Weisenthal. One Charles Weisenthal (Ok, so he was German, but, he was in England) took out a patent for a needle to be used for mechanical sewing. Unfortunately, what sort of mechanical sewing we do not know for a description of the machine was not properly mentioned in the patent.
Lieutenant Governor (state executive office) In the United States, the office of lieutenant governor is the second-highest executive office in a state and is nominally subordinate to the governor. In the U.S., the main duty of the lieutenant governor is to act as governor should the governor be temporarily absent from the office.
A strong governor also appoints most of the members of his Cabinet and can serve multiple terms. Constitutionally weak governors appoint few top officials. In many states, the voters elect the attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, etc. This makes the officials accountable to the electorate, not the governor, and diffuses his power.
