Think why US governors vote differently on various foreign policy issues such the Iraq/Afganistan war or the current trade war. Absolute majority is hard to achieve even in the United States.

Not sure if this is sarcasm. American governors govern states. They have zero purview over foreign policy, which is strictly a federal matter.

They have influence by using the bully pulpit, talking about it, making plans that are different. See California right now on climate change.
