 Governors can exercise complete legislative and executive authority if they wish through blanket powers reserved to them in the constitution.Bills which have passed the Legislative Assembly require royal assent before becoming effective.The Constitution empowers the Governor to withhold royal assent in cases where the legislation appears to him or her to be repugnant to or inconsistent with the Constitution or affects the rights and privileges of the Legislative Assembly or the Royal Prerogative, or matters reserved to the Governor by article 55.
