Actual job[edit]

It seems to me that this article doesn't do a good job of describing what the actual *job* of a mayor in the U.S. is. The extent and limits of authority, etc. An important issue at the moment, perhaps. ;) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.196.248.241 (talk) 01:02, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is likely due to the fact that the office's power and authority vary so widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction due to differences in law and even custom. It would be hard to say what the job of a "typical" mayor is, even within the broad bands of "strong-mayor" and "weak-mayor" systems since some mayors, even otherwise "strong" ones, have little to no final authority on choices as basic as department heads, may or may not be the presiding officer of the council/board of aldermen, and may or may not have the power of veto.Special:Contributions/2600:1004:B128:5E43:9C3B:8755:9803:177E|2600:1004:B128:5E43:9C3B:8755:9803:177E]] (talk) 03:52, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

County mayors[edit]

In Tennessee and Hawai'i, at least, the lead executive of a county is styled as the "county mayor", this less-usual usage of the term should be noted with the article. 2600:1004:B128:5E43:9C3B:8755:9803:177E (talk) 03:54, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
