An example appears in a 19th century poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes, "Contentment" -
I'm very sure I should not care
To fill our Gubernator's chair.

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."

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

The 2012 election will be sooooooo long! It'll Probably just be two straight years of assholes taking up regularly scheduled television programing for their elitist gubernational debates.
