No need to get upset about nothing.  That's how all governors of Vermont are referred to in some official documents.  Probably a holdover title from when we were British colonies.

http://www.leg.state.vt.us/docs/2012/journal/JA110105.pdf "The Committee performed the duty assigned to it and appeared within the Chamber accompanied by His Excellency, Governor James H. Douglas."

Now is as good a time as any for a change. 

I don't believe ANY public officials here in the US should be referred to as "his excellency".

Over all I guess it's a small issue compared to all the crap that is going on.  I just can't believe that they have ever used that term at all in our Country.  I thought we fought that little thing called the revolutionary war to start our own government and get out from under the whole royalty thing.  At least they don't demand to be addressed like that, yet anyway. lol
