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.
