Cabinet
Governor Serrano largely inherited the Executive Council (Cabinet) of his predeccessor, David Dawson, who resigned his post as Governor of Arizona on March 3, 1717, to take office as the first Governor-General of the United States the next day. Upon the effect of then-Governor Dawson's resignation at noon on March 3, 1717, then-Secretary of State Manuel Serrano, as first in line to the Arizona Governorship, succeeded to the Office of Governor and was immediately sworn in and became Governor thereafter at the Arizona State Capitol.

Shortly thereafter, now-Governor Serrano made his way to Washington City, FCT, for Dawson's inauguration the next day as the first Governor-General of the United States (Dawson having departed for Washington City immediately after resigning the Office of Governor).

World view
Serrano is a self-described Whig. He is also described as a pragmatist and a realist; and is widely-known as a staunch defender of the United States' State-centered Federalist system, often pushing back with other Governors against Federal encroachment upon and occasional usurpation of the Powers reserved to and by the States (such Powers being expressly denied to the United States). Serrano believes that nearly all government policy and action should be undertaken at the State or local level, and the United States may exercise competence only on those enumertated policies and actions that the United States, by express words of the Federal Constitution alone, have been expressly been made competent to undertake &mdash;a viewpoint supported by the actual text of the Federal Constitution itself.
