"You can’t appoint House members."

Never underestimate the power of Democrats to abuse, change or make up rules as they go.

And who's going to stop them? The courts? That's a laugh...

(P.S. Not arguing with you -- hope what you said stands up...)

The Constitution specifies that all House members must be elected. No governor has the power of appointment.

State law controls whether a special election must be called or the seat is left vacant until the next election.

The governor would be responsible for enforcing the state law.
