2) a derivative of gubernatorial. However, instead of pertaining to a state governor, it pertains to a president, hence the word "national."

gubernatorial

Of, or referring to a governor. This word is exceptionally weird, because it should be governorial or something. Like, when we elect a President, it's called a Presidential election, NOT a Presibentorial election.

gubernator 

The term that was actually coined *FIRST* to describe Arnold Schwarzenegger, more etymologically accurate than the bastardized "governator"..."gubernator" can be faux-extrapolated as a root of "gubernatorial." Arianna Huffington uses it, and I'm with her.
The Gubernator moved into his new Sacramento mansion today with five alsatians, his wife and a cubic ton of chicken feathers. He told the state legislature to "check back in a week."
