Interesting that there is no language as to who takes over the LTGov spot. Since language in the VA Constitution indicates the existence of “LTGov-elect”, is that position then treated as a vox populi (elected) position?
That would mean that the ASCENDING Gov wold not appoint a LTGov but that a special election must be held.
A very broad interpretation of that clause would say that the AG would move to the LTGov slot.
Looks like time to “judiciouslate”.
“””Interesting that there is no language as to who takes over the LTGov spot.”””
One eye open when I read that stuff but I got the impression if or once the legislature was in session it had several options “the people” could take to place or let someone remain in an acting or resumptive role until next election, or remove and replace as they felt necessary depending on circumstances.
I R not a scholar on such things dontcha know...
