"chosen by the Legislature thereof"

Can a Governor veto that election? What if the legislative houses disagree?

Federal Constitution trumps State Constitution. A governor cannot veto the selection of a federal appointment that is Constitutionally designated.

If the legislative houses disagree, then the state goes unrepresented until they do agree. That should be sufficient motivation to reach a consensus.
