A governor's (please note the spelling) term limits in any of the fifty US states is based on the laws of that individual state. Virginia, for example, has a law that says the governor can only have one consecutive term in office. Other states, like Illinois, have no term limits at all.
Most states will allow multiple nonconsecutive terms.
