Although it is not well known, under California law, anytime the Governor is out of the State, the Lt. Governor is Acting Governor, with all the powers and responsibilities of the office.
Didn't Mike Curb have a lot of fun with that? I dimly recall him appointing judges or something like that when Jerry Brown was out of state.
