§ 1772 Governor Fills Vacant Offices

• •If a government job is empty and there's no rule for filling it, the Governor can pick someone.
• •The person picked by the Governor stays in the job until the next big meeting of the lawmakers or the next election.
• •This is only for jobs where no other way to fill them is written in the law.

Imagine the town's mayor quits suddenly, and there's no rule about who takes over.

The Governor can choose someone to be mayor until the next election or until the lawmakers meet again to decide what to do.
