> US governors vote differently on various foreign policy issues

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

I think in this case replacing governors with senators may be appropriate and closer to the original intent.
They have influence by using the bully pulpit, talking about it, making plans that are different. See California right now on climate change.
